ABSTRACT
This study seeks to evaluate the impact of entrepreneurship on the economic empowerment of the rural women co-operative societies in Anambra, Ebonyi and Enugu States of Nigeria. The objectives of this study are: to establish the impact of entrepreneurship on the economic empowerment of the rural women co-operative societies, to determine the extent that the government has gone in promoting entrepreneurship for economic empowerment of the rural women co-operative societies, to find out the extent to socio-cultural barriers pose challenges on entrepreneurship for the economic empowerment of the rural women co-operative societies, to ascertain the extent to which undergoing a training on entrepreneurship before starting a business would help the rural women co-operatives societies. In line with the above objectives, four hypotheses were formulated to act as a guide to the study. The study was carried out using survey design. The population of the study was 1200 from thirty co-operative societies in the three states under studied. A sample of 300 was determined from the population using Taro Yamane’s sample size determination method. The instrument used for data collection was questionnaire structured in a Likert five point scale which was validated with content validity. Findings indicate that entrepreneurship had a positive impact on the economic empowerment of the rural women co-operative societies; government to a large extent has promoted entrepreneurship for the economic empowerment of the rural women co-operative societies; the challenges in using entrepreneurship to empower the rural women co-operative societies economically were socio-cultural barriers; undergoing a training in entrepreneurship before starting their business would guide the women. The study recommends that rural women in co-operative societies should use entrepreneurship as a tool to enhance their economic empowerment by taking part in various economic activities; government should build enabling environment for entrepreneurship to thrive; government officials in the ministry in-charge should, as a matter of urgency, take continual steps to encourage entrepreneurship for the economic empowerment of the rural women. Gender discrimination should be eliminated and there should be balance of power between men and women; prospective rural women entrepreneurs should undergo a training before starting their business to get the necessary entrepreneurial skills.
