SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
This thesis estimates the relationship between electrification in households and women's employment and education. Electricity has been a growing problem in Nigeria, and many economists and politicians have cited it as the number one hindrance to economic growth in the country. Inadequate electricity supply accounts for a loss of an average of nine days in a month in business revenue. It also plays a big role in household labor supply. In the absence of adequate electricity in the household, women risk their health and time. This paper uses OLS (linear) regression to explore the relationship between electricity and women's employment and education. This thesis seeks to answer whether electricity access has no effect or a positive or negative effect on women's employment and education, arguably two of the most important components of women's empowerment. This thesis finds that in the most rural parts of Nigeria, women's employment is more highly affected by electricity than their education. It is hoped that this study would inform decision makers on the importance of infrastructure development using a gender lens; thus regarding it as a major component to not only alleviate the poor, but to contribute to women's inclusion in the economic ecosystem as well.
