摘要:Background: Studies have examined the individuaHlevel and household predictors of women's labour force participation in Ngeria, this study went further to examine the community-level determinants of non-participation in labour force among women of reproductive age in Nigeria. Data Source and Methods: This study analysed the 201 6-2017 Nigeria Multiple indicator Cluster Survey (MICS) data of women (aged 15- 49; n= 32,742). Descriptive and multivariable analyses (using multilevel binary logistic regression) were performed. Results: Results showed that 73% of the women didn't participate in the labour force. Community poverty (medium: OR = 0.95 and high: OR = 1.38), number of children living with a woman (medium: OR = 1.05 and high: OR = I.I 9), proportion of contraceptive non-users (high: OR = 2.49 and medium: OR = | .59) and region (north: OR = 5.42) were significant (P<0.05) determinants. Conclusion: Hence, women (of reproductive age) in the north, in communities with high: poverty, family size and contraceptive non-use should be economically empowered.
