Odebode  \nDepartment of Agricultural Extension and Rural Development University of Ibadan, Nigeria  \nThis paper assessed the participation of elderly women in community welfare activities in Oyo State, Nigeria. Simple random sampling technique was used to select 120 elderly women from six out of the twelve political wards in the study area. Both qualitative and quantitative methods of data collection were used to elicit information from the respondents. A focus group discussion was conducted with the elderly women groups, in each of the six wards.  \nFrequency counts and percentages were used to summarise the data, while chi-square and the multinomial logit regression model were also used to analyse the data. There were significant relationships between the level of participation of rural elderly women in community welfare activities and age (X2 = 81.50, P = 0.05), marital status(X2 = 3.84, P = 0.05), educational status (X2 =196.07, P = 0.05), religion (X2 = 8.53, P = 0.05) and place of origin (X2 = 51.53,  \nP = 0.05).  \n592 Stella O. Odebode Community welfare activities in Akinyele local government, Oyo State, Nigeria 593  \nThe study concludes that rural elderly women participate in various community welfare activities such as care of children, giving of advice on child care, maternal care, family planning, family health, mediation and resolution of conflicts, assistance with domestic chores, family nutrition, children education on basic skills and good morals. It is therefore recommended that rural elderly women should be involved in rural development issues since they have a wealth of knowledge on various community welfare issues.  \nIntroduction  \nThe United Nations Decade for Women (1976–1985) legitimised women’s status and contributed immensely to the awareness of their major contributions in communities (Odebode & Oladeji 2001) .  \nMany studies have also significantly shown that women have been the unrecognised cornerstones of many rural economies, especially those of the developing countries (Yahaya 2002) . Besides their work on farms, women are involved in various biological, social, cultural and economic activities that contribute significantly to the well-being of their households and communities, including the aged.  \nWomen constitute more than 60% of the adult population resident in the rural areas of Nigeria (Adeyeye 1986). This population of women is too large to be ignored, because all through their lives they are involved in many activities that provide medical, social, food, economic and cultural needs of their households. Elderly women contribute significantly to nation-building and economic growth through their roles in agricultural production, housekeeping, child welfare services and community welfare activities. These roles need to be documented so that development planners can use elderly women as change agents in efforts to improve the living conditions in rural communities, hence, achieving sustainable welfare in rural communities. It is on this basis that this study investigated the rural  \nparticipation of elderly women in community welfare activities with a view to providing answers to the following questions:  \n• What are the selected socio-economic characteristics of elderly women in Akinyele Local Government Area of Oyo State?  \n• What is the level of participation of elderly women in community welfare activities in Akinyele Local Government Area of Oyo State?  \n• What are the income-generating activities of elderly women in Akinyele Local Government Area of Oyo State?  \nObjectives of the study  \nThe main objective of this study was to determine the level of participation of elderly women in community welfare activities in the Akinyele Local Government Area of Oyo State.
