INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY
Individuals go into business for the sake of obtaining regular income, becoming self employed and also help others. Although there are different kinds of business enterprises that female and male can go into, often times, some businesses are regarded as more suitable for one sex and not the other. This means that there are some gender discriminations in the choice of business one goes into and, by extension, in entrepreneurship development.
Apparently, gender attitudes and behaviours may have positive or negative effect on entrepreneurship development in a society or economy.
This research work therefore intends to take a critical look at gender discriminations as they affect entrepreneurship development with particular reference to Northern Nigeria in general, using Exceptional production services Limited Kaduna, Kaduna North Local Government area as a case study, and also to suggest the possible solutions to indentified problems and give recommendations where necessary.
STATEMENT OF THE RESEARCHÂ PROBLEM
Entrepreneurship has generally been recognized as a good medium or strategy for economic development of an individual, a community and a nation. It is also a known fact that some gender discriminations are often used in the choice of business or even the decision to go into business. For example, some businesses are regarded as more suitable to men than women. The question here is, is this the right approach to economic development through entrepreneurship? Of what effect is this approach to entrepreneurship development? These and other questions are what this research work intends to find answers to, and, if possible make recommendations.
