    Saving and investment behaviour of fishermen in the riverine area of Ondo state
    (Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife, Nigeria, 1985) Akala, Oyewole Aiyemidara
    The study is aimed at carrying out an in-depth analysis of the financial behaviour of the fishermen in the riverine area of Ondo include state. The major issues examine/the identification of fishermen "co-operatives in the area, the functions they perform, determination of the fishermen's gross income, estimation of their marginal propensity to save together with income elasticity of saving, and the investment of the fishermen vas also considered. The data for the study were collected between the months of August and October, 1984. There were two types of data. The secondary data were collected from the Co-operatives division of Ministry of Trade, Industry and co-operative at Okitipupa and, Akure Federal Department of Fisheries, Akure and Federal office of Statistics, Lagos. The primary data on the other hand were collected from the Ilaje/Ese-Odo Local Government area of Ondo State through structured questionnaires. From the study at least 80% of the fishermen co-operative societies are not functioning properly due to lack of effective supervision, poor management and false expectations. Most of the fishermen co-operative unions are financially insolvent. The gross income of the fishermen was found to be low and only a little part (19.504) of the income was saved, mostly in informal savings organizations. Only 21.58% of the fishermen patronise the banks. Household consumption expenditure was found to be very high among the fishermen thereby leading to low investments. The regression analysis results show that the gross income, the level of education, the number of years of cooperative experience, the age of the fishermen as well as the distance to nearest bank, all significantly determine their level of savings The analysis shows further that the savings of the fishermen, the technology level, the level of education together with their total consumption will all determine the investment of the fishermen. The marginal propensity to save among the fishermen was found to be 0.14 while the income elasticity of saving was found to be greater than unity (1.95).
