Abstract
The recent data of nationally representative sample of 3380 households from rural Nigeria was used to examine the effects of participation in non-farm enterprise activities on household wellbeing. The propensity score matching result shows that participation in nonfarm enterprise activities has a significant positive impact on household wellbeing by all measures. This suggests that non-farm enterprises could be a pathway for improving the wellbeing of rural households in developing countries.
