| Abstract | Abstract This study was carried out to investigate the income generating activities of Fulani women in Iseyin Local Government Area of Oyo State. Other variables considered include their personal characteristics and assessment of effect of income generating activities of Fulani women on their standard of living. Simple random sampling technique was used to select one hundred and twenty Fulani women for the study. Data was collected with the aid of structured interview schedule. Frequency counts and percentages were used to describe the data while Chi-square was used as inferential statistical tool. The result revealed that most 56.7% of the Fulani women are within age range of 30 and 40 years, most married (83.3%), predominantly Muslims and majority of them are cattle rearer. The most prominent income generating activities of Fulani women is milk processing, followed by mat weaving and hired labour. The result further revealed that none of the Fulani women’s personal characteristics such as age, marital status, marriage pattern, household size, education and religion affect or influenced their income generating activities. It is therefore recommended that Fulani would should be organized into group for training on other income generating activities by extension institutions in order to broaden their horizon of income generating activities. |
