ABSTRACT: In this
paper, we carry out two types of analyses namely descriptive and inferential analyses to determine the effect
of gender on career choices, employment and promotion of the staff in Imo State University,
Owerri. The descriptive statistical analysis indicates fair gender balance in
the university with respect to staff’s career choice, employment and promotion.
This was based on the sample data. From the inferential analysis obtained from
the three hypotheses stated and tested in this study, there were strong
indications that gender consideration is
significant in career choices, employment but not promotion in Imo State University, Owerri. Hence, this research does not
support the claim that there is gender discrimination against women.
