Abstract
This study aimed at examining the effect of necessity-driven push factors (unemployment and dissatisfaction) on entrepreneurial activities in Auchi metropolis, Edo State, Nigeria. The study's scope was limited to the Auchi metropolis with a population of 94 entrepreneurs and business owners.
The sample size was calculated using Slovin's method and was found to be 76. Business owners operating in the zone were chosen in their respective classes using the convenience sample approach, and they were then administered survey questionnaires designed in a 5-point Likert scale to fill up. The sampling technique is suitable for the study and minimizes sampling time waste by allowing the researcher to get the necessary primary data from respondents who were readily available, willing, and able to complete the questionnaire survey.
The findings revealed that necessity-driven push factors (unemployment and dissatisfaction) significantly affect entrepreneurial activities in Auchi metropolis, Edo State, Nigeria.
