Abstract

Summary The study assessed coping strategies adopted during economic recession by male and female members of rural households in Osun State, Nigeria. The study specifically examined the perceived causes of economic recession, investigated the perceived effects and identified the coping strategies adopted by the male and female members of the rural households during economic recession and their level of adoption. A multistage procedure was used to select 120 respondents from 6 local Government Areas of the State. An interview schedule was used to collect data from the respondents. The collected data were analysed using appropriate descriptive and inferential statistics such as frequency counts, percentages, means and independent T-test analysis. The mean ages of the male and female respondents were 45.2 ± 14.1 years and 37 ± 12.6 years respectively. The majority of the males (78.3%) and females (80%) were married with the mean household size of 7 ± 3 people for the male and 6 ± 2 for the female respondents. The cause of economic recession mostly perceived by the male and female respondents was poor economic planning (mean=3.87, 3.77), while prioritizing spending (mean=2.80, 2.52) was the most adopted strategy by both males and females. No significant difference was found in the effects of economic recession on the male and female respondents (t = -0.19; p >0.05) and likewise no significant difference was found in their economic recession coping strategies (t=0.115; p ≥ 0.05). The study concluded that there was no significant difference in the economic recession coping strategies between the male and female members of rural households in the study area.

经济衰退时期农村家庭应对策略的性别评估——以尼日利亚奥逊州为例
本研究评估了尼日利亚奥松州农村家庭男女成员在经济衰退期间采取的应对策略。本研究具体考察了经济衰退的感知原因,调查了经济衰退的感知影响,并确定了农村家庭男女成员在经济衰退期间采取的应对策略及其采用程度。采用多阶段程序从该州6个地方政府区选出120名受访者。访谈时间表用于收集受访者的数据。收集的数据使用适当的描述性和推断性统计进行分析,如频率计数、百分比、平均值和独立t检验分析。男性平均年龄为45.2±14.1岁,女性平均年龄为37±12.6岁。调查对象中男性(78.3%)和女性(80%)以已婚居多,平均家庭人数男性为(7±3)人,女性为(6±2)人。男性和女性受访者认为经济衰退的主要原因是经济规划不佳(平均=3.87,3.77),而优先支出(平均=2.80,2.52)是男性和女性最采用的策略。经济衰退对男性和女性受访者的影响无显著差异(t = -0.19;P < 0.05),在经济衰退应对策略方面也无显著差异(t=0.115;P≥0.05)。研究发现,研究区农村家庭男女成员在经济衰退应对策略上无显著差异。
