In pre-history times women and men participated almost equally in hunting and gathering activities to obtain food. With the development of agricultural communities, women work revolves more around the home they prepared food, made clothing and care for the children while also helping to blow field, harvest crops and rear animals.
As cities developed some women traded goods in the market place. Some major changes are now occurring in the industrial nations including the steadily increase proportion of women in the labour force, decreasing family responsibilities (due to both smaller family size and technological innovation in the home) higher level of education for women and more middle and upper income women working for pay.
In African nations, the story is not different from any part of the world except for culture, tradition, religion and participation as the case may be in other nations of the world.
In Nigeria to be specific, the rate of women participation in the work force is at a speed increase as all effort are made from all angles of life to promote their girl child education such are motivation into women career pursuit.
