Abstract

This study explores the role of educated women in shaping family dynamics and enhancing children's primary education in Oyi Local Government Area, Anambra State, Nigeria. The study utilized a survey research design to evaluate the impact of women's education on the socio-economic status of families in Oyi Local Government Area, Anambra State. Covering five towns—Awkuzu, Nteje, Umunnya, Ogbunike, and Nkwelle—the research targeted diverse women, including literates and illiterates from varied occupations. A sample of 200 working-class women was randomly selected from schools, banks, markets, and farms, with each town contributing 40 respondents. Data was collected via a questionnaire using a four-point Likert scale. The findings reveal that educated women contribute significantly to the economic stability of their families, engaging in diverse financial responsibilities, including healthcare, education, and property investments. They also demonstrate a preference for smaller, well-managed families, effectively using reproductive health information to maintain family planning. In the context of primary education, educated women actively support their children's learning through guidance on schoolwork, provision of educational materials, and fostering a disciplined study environment. The study concludes that educated women are pivotal in promoting family welfare, enhancing literacy rates, and driving social and economic progress within the community. It recommends strengthening educational opportunities for women to further amplify these positive impacts on family and community development.

Abstract

This literature review examines the influence of entrepreneurship education on youth employment and skill development based on findings synthesized from peer-reviewed research published within the last decade. The review draws on studies conducted primarily in developing countries, particularly sub-Saharan Africa with a focus on Nigeria, retrieved from academic databases such as Google Scholar, ERIC, JSTOR, and ResearchGate using keywords including “entrepreneurship education,” “youth employment,” “skill acquisition,” and “economic empowerment.” The review reveals that entrepreneurship education significantly enhances youth employability by fostering entrepreneurial intentions, promoting self-employment, and reducing dependence on limited formal job opportunities. It also contributes to the development of vocational, technical, and managerial skills relevant to the labor market. However, its effectiveness is constrained by limited institutional support, inadequate funding, lack of qualified instructors, and theoretical-oriented instructional approaches. Overall, the literature indicates that entrepreneurship education plays a strategic role in economic and social empowerment of youth when effectively implemented, and calls for curriculum reform, practical-based training, and stronger school–industry partnerships to maximize impact.
