ALEAS CLIMATIQUES ET DETERMINANTS DE LA SATISFACTION DES FEMMES ENTREPRENEURS AGRICOLES EN MILIEU RURAL DU NORD-BENIN

Abstract

In order to develop better policies, a better understanding of the welfare situation of the population is essential. Using the filtered database of the CDE-UP, sources of job satisfaction were analyzed among agricultural entrepreneurs. The study deals in particular with the weight of three effects, namely the mediating effect of entrepreneurial typology, the catalytic effect of hazards, in particular climate change and the control effect of the zone and individual allocations. The linear econometric analysis and the ordered logit the determinants of the level of job satisfaction sources confirms these three types of effects with some specificities and a threshold effect at 50 years of age. It also shows that enormous constraints and climatic hazards still weigh on the activity of women farmers in northern Benin and impute their wellbeing. All this requires more attention from the authorities to women entrepreneurs in terms of support, from financing, technical monitoring and marketing to land management.
