Participatory Rural Entrepreneurship Development for Grassroots Transformation: A Factor Analysis

Oluwatoyin Dare Kolawole, D.O. Torimiro · 2005 · Journal of Human Ecology

Summary. This study identified key factors influencing rural entrepreneurship development in Lagos State, Nigeria. Researchers surveyed 320 people across eight rural communities and found that social status, personal experience, functional infrastructure, and education most strongly drive participation in entrepreneurship programs. Credit access and high labor costs emerged as major barriers. Most rural entrepreneurs remained small-scale, with limited employment creation and preference for trading over production.
