E-commerce activities in Nigeria are rapidly growing as a result of vast improvements in telecommunication services. And e-banking is one area of e-commerce that has proven successful in Nigeria. The growth of internet users from year 2000 to 2019 is sporadic as it recorded 73% growth rates. This study explores the benefits of e-commerce and the challenges of e-commerce that inhibit its successful operation in Nigeria. Survey research was adopted for this study. The questionnaire was designed and administered randomly to 1200 respondents. Collected data were analysed using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS). The findings indicate that the major benefits of e-commerce adoption in Nigeria are increased sales, competitive advantage, customer loyalty, increased automation of processes, extended application of new technology, better knowledge management, and enhanced well-being and education of customer. The key challenges identified in the Nigerian context include power outages and frequent power interruption, insecurity, technology cost, lack of trust in web retailers, software compatibility, and acquisition of IT skilled personnel. The study recommends, among other issues, the need for adequate publicity on e-commerce with emphasis on e-shopping, e-banking, and e-business.
由于电信服务的巨大改善，尼日利亚的电子商务活动正在迅速发展。电子银行是电子商务在尼日利亚取得成功的一个领域。从2000年到2019年，互联网用户的增长是零星的，增长率为73%。本研究探讨了电子商务的好处和电子商务的挑战，阻碍其在尼日利亚的成功运作。本研究采用调查研究方法。该问卷是随机设计并实施的，共有1200名受访者。收集的数据使用SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Science)分析。研究结果表明，尼日利亚采用电子商务的主要好处是增加了销售额、竞争优势、客户忠诚度、提高了流程自动化程度、扩展了新技术的应用、更好的知识管理、提高了客户的福利和教育水平。尼日利亚面临的主要挑战包括停电和频繁停电、不安全、技术成本、对网络零售商缺乏信任、软件兼容性以及获取IT技术人员。该研究建议，除其他事项外，有必要对电子贸易进行充分宣传，重点是电子购物、电子银行和电子商务。

Compensatory welfare is less sensible for “new” social risks including single parent hood nowadays. Thus, social investment policy seeks to combine work and family responsibilities for single parents to enable them to avoid poverty. On the other hand, social investment can be perceived as the other pillar together with compensatory social protection, which is important for single parent families as a tool protecting against poverty. Among the three welfare sources, i.e. family, market and state, the state should support the single parents (Christopher, 2002; Nieuwenhuis and Maldonado (2016)). The aim of this research is to analyse the impact of social benefits on the poverty reduction of single parents in the Baltic States with a focus on social investment. The following objectives are set up for the implementation of the aim: to review discourse about social investment, its relation with traditional social protection and life course perspective; to analyse the income and the poverty, as well as to analyse the impact of social benefits on poverty reduction. The empirical data of the research are obtained from the EUSILC microdata of the period of 2007–2015 aiming to evaluate the prevailing trend. The analysis of the impact of social benefits on poverty reduction was made using a sequential approach, when the impact on poverty reduction of each type of social benefit is measured separately step by step. The impact of social benefits on poverty reduction among single parents was evaluated over the life course because social investment is a life course policy. The findings of the research revealed that social benefits have quite a small impact on poverty reduction in single parent families. The poverty after social benefits among single parents remains high and stable during 2007–2015. Additionally, the poverty of single parents in Baltic States is feminized.
