Abstract
The study examined differences in entrepreneurial diversification among male
and female rural farming household in Kwara State, Nigeria. A two-stage
sampling procedure was used to select a total sample size of 320
respondents. Percentages, mean and regression were used for data analysis.
Findings revealed that male and female farmers engaged in several
entrepreneurial activities but men (0.51) were more diversified than female
(0.47). Level of education, household size and access to credit were the
major determinants of the entrepreneurial creativity of the respondents
varying degree of significance. Both men and women were differentiated
along entrepreneurial activities in search of daily need but men were more
creative compared to their women counterparts. Education of male and
female entrepreneurs should be encouraged and access to resources among
rural farming households to stem up their creative thinking.
