Résumé

Nous avons l’hypothèse que les perspectives de l’révolution (GR) est en hausse au Nigeria et
peut être mariage se balançant le calendrier et la fertilité. Les 1990 et 2013 et 45 données
NDHS entrevues en profondeur ont été analysés. L’analyse suggère que les perspectives pour
l’émergence de GR a augmenté entre 1990 et 2013. Les femmes à haut statut GR prédit
positivement le moment du mariage en 2013 à l’encontre de l’association cohérence observé
en 1990. De même, l’état haut GR prédit négativement enfants nés (CCS) en 2013. Aussi,
les données qualitatives semblent indiquer une préférence générale pour l’achèvement de l’éducation et la participation au marché du travail avant le mariage chez les femmes. Les
résultats indiquent que la proportion de femmes à l’amélioration de l’état développe dans tout le
Nigéria GR, le report du mariage est susceptible de monter en flèche et la réduction de la fertilité
durable obtenus. Politique sociale pour accélérer l’éducation des femmes et la participation au
marché du travail ainsi que des stratégies de rétablissement économique réaliste sont donc d’une
importance critique.

Gender Revolution Prospects in Nigeria: Implications for Marriage Timing and Fertility

We hypothesise that the prospects of gender revolution (GR) is rising in Nigeria and may be
swaying marriage timing and fertility. The 1990 and 2013 NDHS data and 45 in-depth
interviews were analysed. The analysis suggests that the prospects for the emergence of GR
increased between 1990 and 2013. Women with high GR status positively predicted marriage
timing in 2013 as against the inconsistent association observed in 1990. Similarly, high GR
status negatively predicted children ever born (CEB) in 2013. Also, qualitative data suggest
a general preference for completing education and participating in labour market before
marriage among women. The findings suggest that as the proportion of women with improved
GR status increases across Nigeria, delayed marriage is likely to soar and sustainable fertility
decline achieved. Social policy to accelerate female education and labour force participation
along with realistic economic recovery strategies are therefore of critical importance.
