Beschreibung
Economic planning assumption is that all rural people are involved in agricultural production, but social changes show that rural women are involved in several occupations including farm and non-farm. Rural households diversify their income sources by combining two or more jobs (multiple job holding) since farming is rain-fed and therefore seasonal. This is to enable them acquire additional income to meet up with economic responsibilities during off-season periods. The book Occupational Diversification by Rural Women in Anambra State, Nigeria provides empirical data on farm and non-farm activities carried out by rural women for economic empowerment.
