Abstract

Gender-induced discriminatory practices against women are very common in Nigeria, as in most African countries. Gendered practices are socially and culturally constructed, and are as such informed by the values and norms of societies. These practices have hampered the development of women's capabilities, and have precluded equal economic and social participation in the development of the nation leading to low levels of education and high incidence of poverty among women. This article discusses the role of women in housing development, linking this to a statistical model developed from research conducted by the authors.
