| description | This paper examines the changes in parents' perception on the value of
daughters and their education. It utilizes information generated from
Focus Group Discussions in two urban and four rural Isoko communities
in DeltaState, southern Nigeria. Eight Focus Groups were constituted in
each of the towns and villages (four for men and four for women). The
groups were homogeneous in terms of sex, age and educational level. It
is observed that parents' perception on the value of daughters is
changing because adult daughters have been found to be more caring and
more supportive of aged parents than adult sons. Consequently, parents
now consider the education of daughters as very rewarding since
educated daughters become better equipped to provide support to their
parents. The changing attitudinal disposition towards girls' education
has implication for the enhancement of women's status and
fertility decline. |
