The idea that location or geography stands in the way of economic prosperity finds tremendous support in Nigeria's rural versus urban demographic profile. This profile makes rural rather than urban Nigeria to be a greater threat in the actualization of Nigeria's quest for accelerated economic development which is practicable through earning demogra...

... birth rate lowered there were also investments in health and education and other social infrastructures resulting to better health, improved secondary school completion rates, delayed marriage and childbearing. Thailand's population pyramid evolved from an inverted V shaped structure one that looked like Nigeria's current pyramid to a middle-fattened structure (see figure 2). Indeed, Thailand is an economic success story ( Graff and Bremner, 2014) whose experience has been frequently referenced in scholarly quarters. ...

... Rigg (2006: 180) equated "the poor world" with the "rural world… where farming predominates". Rural population dynamics is more inimical to development when compared with urban's (Ibrahim, 2019). The implication is that being a woman in a developing country like Nigeria opens one to considerable gender-based inequities but this is even exacerbated if one's geographical location is rural and one is a farmer. ...
Gender inequities are greater challenges in developing countries like Nigeria especially in rural communities where women are typically farmers. Gender inequality is inimical to optimal productivity and well-being among women, and marital household-based dynamics are indicators of inequities that women encounter in their lives. Hence, this study was designed to examine marital communication and participation in family decision-making among married women farmers in selected rural communities of Ibadan, Nigeria. The design of this study was cross-sectional survey. Multi-item measures were used to assess variables and simple random as well as systematic samplings were used to select 360 respondents from the target population. Closed-ended questionnaire administered via structured interview was used to collect primary data. One-way ANOVA was used to assess significant differences in mean scores of participation in family decision-making across subgroups of education, age and religion. Eta and Eta 2 were used as measures of effect sizes. Pearson's correlation coefficient (r) was used to examine relationship between variables. Results show that marital communication is 'good' among 64.2% but 'poor' among 35.8% of respondents. Participation in family decision-making is 'high' among 62.2% but low among 37.8% of respondents. Education and age are significant independent socio-demographic factors affecting participation in family decision-making (p<0.05) but religion is not (p>0.05). There is a significant, inverse but weak relationship between marital communication and participation in family decision-making (Pearson's r =-.112, p< 0.05). Having no formal education and being aged 46 and above have significant effects on reduced and increased participation in family decision-making respectively. However, being Muslim, Christian or traditional religion practitioner has no effect on this participation. The lesser married women farmers share their concerns and other 'everyday issues' with their husbands, the more is women participation in family decision-making.
