Participants were drawn from two universities; one in the North Central and the other in the South Western regions of Nigeria. A questionnaire comprising thirty home-related activities was administered to 522 respondents from the two universities. A total of 284 of them were from the northern university (180 males and 104 females) while the remaining 238 were drawn from the southern university (109 males and 129 females). The number and percentage of respondents who considered each of the tasks as appropriate for man, woman or either of the two were calculated. Chi2 test was used to compare the responses of the four groups of respondents The results indicated that both culture and gender determine perception of gender-roles. The southern participants showed greater flexibility in their perception. (i.e. they considered more jobs as appropriate for either of the two sexes). Furthermore, the tendency to perceive most tasks as appropriate for women was found more among the southern female participants than the other three groups. The findings were attributed to differences in levels of urbanization, educational attainment of parents and cultural values.","PeriodicalId":308310,"journal":{"name":"Gender and behaviour","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130319538","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study examined the effects of the acquiescent of Nigerian society towards the preponderance of scanty dressing, pornography (and the like) on adolescents‟ sexual behavior and its probable effects on the incidence of HIV/AIDS. 283 adolescents in age group 10-19 years were interviewed in Lagos State of Nigeria. The study revealed that there is a negative relationship between girls‟ dressing habit and level of sexual comportment. It revealed that those that are scantily dressed are vulnerable to sexual acts and are likely to be more exposed to HIV/AIDS than otherwise. 73.1percent of respondents considered communication on sexuality with their parents as very poor. About 88.3 percent respondents wear “see-through”, transparent trouser/pants, “hips stands” dresses outside their homestead and the motives range from “want to be noticed by big boys”, “dress to thrill” to “sex for cash”. 62.2 percent have experienced sexual intercourse and 51.9% out of this magnitude have had it within the last three month of the survey. Two-third do not use condom during intercourse while several do not have stable sexual partners. Indulgence in scanty dressing could be curtailed by the provision of adequate sexuality education and respect for Nigerian value of dressing. Responsible sexual comportment is possible by embracing modest dressing lifestyles among others. Key Words : Scanty dressing, adolescent, aristo, HIV/AIDS, STDs, sexuality, nudity, girl-boy friend.","PeriodicalId":308310,"journal":{"name":"Gender and behaviour","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132453155","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In doing this, 852 secondary school students selected from two ethnic groups and two states (Yoruba- Oyo state, & Efik – Cross River state), with ages ranging between 11 and 24 yrs responded to parenting styles and sexual attitudes questionnaires. It was hypothesized that: 1. Authoritative and the hybrid authoritative/authoritarian parenting styles would be more characteristic of Yoruba Parents than the Efik Parents 2. The young people of Yoruba decent would report more restraint sexual attitudes while those from Efik decent would report more liberal and permissive sexual attitudes. 3. Males would have more liberal and permissive sexual attitudes while females would have more restraint sexual attitudes 4. There would be positive and significant correlation between the parenting styles and the sexual attitudes of young people in Nigeria Results obtained confirmed three of the hypotheses fully and the fourth partially.

The importance of sexual abuse of the girl-child in urban Nigeria as a subject of enquiry can not be over-emphasised. While opinion is undivided on the socio-medical and psychological consequence of child sexual abuse, there are nevertheless, divergent explanations for the changing sexual mores in Africa. This study thus provides an analysis of the scope and determinants of child sexual abuse in Nigeria. The study was qualitative utilising Focus Group Discussions (FGD) and In-depth interviews (IDIs) to collect information from young girls and key-informants in Ibadan. It involved respondents from the three major socio-cultural groups namely Yoruba, Hausa and Igbo.. Findings show that the concept of sexual abuse as understood by the respondents encapsulated many other behaviour other than sexual intercourse between an old male and a young girl, and that it is very wide in scope. Urban poverty was found to be the major determinant of sexual abuse. Although, no case of HIV/AIDS arising from sexual abuse was found, however, some victims complained of health problems such as sexually transmitted infections.","PeriodicalId":308310,"journal":{"name":"Gender and behaviour","volume":"41 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132026899","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study therefore investigated gender, religiosity and self esteem as predictors of sexual attitudes among polytechnic students in Nigeria. Using a cross sectional survey design, five hundred (500) students (212 males and 288 females) were purposively selected for the study. Questionnaire comprises of demographic information, self esteem scale and sexual attitudes scale was used for data collection. The participants‟ ages range from 15 to 35 years (X=22.28, SD= 3.17).

Self-esteem did not significantly influence sexual attitudes of students (t=0.37; df =498; P>.05.

The exercise revealed that there were about 200 households in the community and the average number of persons per household was ten. About 50%, 26% and 24% of the total households (THHs) were food insecured/core poor, medium food insecured/ poor and food secured/non poor respectively. Female headed households (FHHs) constituted about 25% of the total households and about 48% of the food insecured category. The findings further showed that there was gender division of labour. The major occupations of the men and women were fishing and fish processing respectively. The community had a 24- hour daily activity profile due to night fishing in the high seas by the men while women were busy throughout the day. There were poor access and control of fishing and farming technologies, inputs, credit and extension services which was worse for the women. The agriculture related problem prioritized by men was lack of fishing inputs while the women indicated inefficient fish processing methods. It was recommended that extension interventions in the community should facilitate formation of commodity associations to ensure effective resource mobilization and delivery of technologies and inputs. Targeting women, promotion of aquaculture, intensification of cropping and diversification into livestock through Fadama activities will improve productivity and ensure sustainable development.

Gender inequalities thrive in all societies but are more prevalent in developing countries. This is as a result of less attention paid by policy makers to the socio-economic landscape made up by a diversity of vulnerable groups such as women and children. This paper examined perspectives underpinning feminism, processes and approaches to public policy and implementation, and various policy issues reinforcing gender inequality. The work analyzed three policy paradigms as well as gender budgeting analysis using Sen and Nassbaum capability approach. Of the three policies alternatives examined, strategic planning, which this work recommends is a relatively practical paradigm of public policy making, that in many ways, reconciles the differing perspectives of the other two paradigms. Through the use of Sen and Nussbaum‟s capability, the work acknowledges that the current system of budgeting at the federal level has continued to create gender disparity, thereby conscripting economic space for women; and consequently putting them at a disadvantage in every sector of economic and productive life. The result has been abject poverty in the various communities. The study was also able to identify the critical issues affecting gender inequalities in Nigeria, which permeates all the levels of government. It ended with policy recommendations to redress this anomaly.","PeriodicalId":308310,"journal":{"name":"Gender and behaviour","volume":"193 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122024999","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
