Brief Introduction
Women in Ese-Odo Local Government Area in Ondo State in spite of their daily roles to improve the existing standard are being looked down upon by their male counterparts as playing the second fiddle. A review of feminist literature indicates that there is now a demand for re-orientation of research and changes in methodological procedures used for complications of national income.
There are at least three stands to this firstly; there is the issue that a considerable portion of women’s labour is not reflected in Ese-Odo Local Government statistics. This is a phenomenon due to the fact that the labour of the housewife is not traded and valued at market prices.
Secondly, there is the formal versus informal sector issue. On a worldwide basis, but more so in the developing countries of the world women constitute the greater percentage of the informal sector labour forces. Thirdly, there is the rural-urban dichotomy more often than not, women are left behind when there is male migration from rural to urban areas. These three issues are mutually self-explanatory as women get left behind in the rural areas. They have limited opportunities for self-improvement. They are therefore suitable mainly for informal sector employment.
Their labour as housewives, housemaids etc is not accurately affected in national statistics. Another relevant issue is that where women are in selection for religious or social reasons, enumerators who are more often men cannot meet the women to accurately appraise their labour input.
