CHAPTER ONE
1.1
BACKGROUND
TO THE STUDY
Individuals
go into business for the sake of obtaining regular income, becoming self
employed and also help others. Although there are different kinds of business
enterprises that female and male can go into, often times, some businesses are
regarded as more suitable for one sex and not the other. This means that there
are some gender considerations in the choice of business one goes into and, by
extension, in entrepreneurship development.
Apparently,
gender attitudes and behaviours may have positive or negative effect on
entrepreneurship development in a society or economy.
This
research work therefore intends to take a critical look at gender
considerations as they affect entrepreneurship development with particular
reference to Northern Nigeria in general,
using Oju Printing Press Limited Kaduna, Kaduna South Local Government area as
a case study, and also to suggest the possible solutions to indentified
problems and give recommendations where necessary.

has generally been recognized as a good medium or strategy for economic

regarded as more suitable to men than women. The question here is, is this the
right approach to economic development through entrepreneurship? Of what effect
is this approach to entrepreneurship development?
These
and other questions are what this research work intends to find answers to,
and, if possible make recommendations where possible.
