Catherine Abiola Oluwatoyin Akinbami · 2021 · International Journal of Entrepreneurship and Small Business

Summary. Rural women entrepreneurs in Southwest and Southeast Nigeria receive varying levels of family support, which is significantly shaped by socio-cultural practices. The study found that cultural norms discourage women from passing businesses to their children and limit entrepreneurial growth. The research recommends that husbands challenge restrictive cultural practices to enable family business succession, sustainable economic empowerment, and poverty reduction in rural areas.
