Abstract

This paper aims to examine the major Role of women's participation in income-generating activities Demba Gofa werda. To carry out this study both primary and secondary data was collected and analyzed. Randomly selected 80 households were the source of primary data for this study. Secondary data was collected from the review of related works of literature. A binary logistic regression econometric model was implemented to identify major Role of women's participation in income-generating activities. The result of the logit model reveals that, Women in the study area are not allowed by their husbands to participate in high income earning activities. They are considered as a housewife and the only husband is expected to participate in high income-generating activities due to the local customs. As a result, some women participate in small business activities like livestock product sales, vegetable and fruit sell, poultry, petty trade, hairdressing, and wage labor. The output of the model indicates that women's education and access to credit were positively and significantly affecting the women participation in income generating activities whereas family size, market distance, livestock holding, and age are significantly and negatively affecting the dependent variable. Based on the finding of the study, the researchers have conclusion and recommendations.
