有数据证明，福利改善了尼日利亚的后民主。然而，益处在人口亚群体中的分布或集中情况尚不清楚。在本文中，探讨了尼日利亚后民主社会中，性别之间和性别内部的不同福利影响问题。我使用简单的计量经济学工具来检验两个零假设。首先，尼日利亚向民主转变的收入和教育收益回报在性别上没有差异。其次，尼日利亚在收入和教育回报方面向民主的转变不存在性别差异。从结果来看，两个零假设都被拒绝。虽然男性和女性都从民主后的改革中受益，但性别差异仍然存在。具体来说，我发现后民主时代男性的平均收入更高。尼日利亚。 However, disparities in income benefits are at lower levels of education. Men and women have similar income benefits at the tertiary level. Interestingly, I find the reverse when considering returns to education. On average, women experienced a greater change in returns to education post democracy in Nigeria but this disparity is primarily at the tertiary level. I also find inequality has increased post democracy in Nigeria, more so among women than men.
