摘要：This study examines the effect of governance on women's participation using annual time-series data for 29 years spanning from 1990 - 2019. The ARDL Bounds test discloses the existence of a long-run co-integration relationship between accountability, control of corruption, and effectiveness of government and women participation in the labor force. The empirical results obtained revealed that both in the short-run and long-run accountability and the percentage of female employment have a positive and statistically significant effect on women's participation in Nigeria. Although, both in the short-run and long-run the effectiveness of government shows negative and statistically insignificant, the control of corruption exerted a negative and statistically significant impact both in the short-run and long-run. Therefore, the study recommends that the government at all levels should ensure that accountability prevailed in every sector, to allow fair play in representatives, employment, and diffusion of decisions to strengthen and energized women's participation.
