Catherine Abiola Oluwatoyin Akinbami, Joshua Oyeniyi Aransiola · 2015 · Journal of Small Business & Entrepreneurship

Summary. Cultural practices in Nigeria significantly restrict rural women's entrepreneurship opportunities and inhibit the success of government initiatives. The study, conducted in Southeast and Southwest Nigeria using focus groups and case studies, found that traditional beliefs and customs limit which businesses women can pursue. The researchers conclude that policymakers must consider cultural factors and work toward community reorientation to effectively develop women's entrepreneurship in rural areas.
