EFFECTS OF GENDER DISPARITY ON GOVERNMENT EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES

Gender inequality, gender disparity, gender segregation, gender conflict, gender liberation and gender discrimination of all sorts are critical points of references in documentary evidences in various conversations locally and worldwide. There is little denying  the fact that investing  in human capital is one of  the most effective means of reducing  poverty  and  encouraging  sustainable  development  in Nigeria, yet, women  in general usually have less employment opportunities than men over the world. Any claims and effort then to remove poverty can show results only if they address the issue of gender disparity.
