The diversification of rural activities by rural women in a bid to sustain rural households‟ livelihoods cannot be undermined. Although the rural woman, through the diversification of rural activities strives to sustain household‟s livelihood, demographic elements influence her struggle. The objective of this paper is to identify and assess such demographic aspects affecting the rural woman in Bui Division. In order to attain this set objective, a literature review in relation to the topic was carried out. This was followed by data collection from the field; it comprised of on-the-spot / participant observations, interviews and usage of questionnaires. Our respondents were 749 rural women (20 years of age and above). The results show that though, age is an important factor that influences the choice and how the diversification of rural activities is undertaken by the rural woman as evident in the field, it is apparent that „age‟ as a demographic factor does not negatively influence the rural woman‟s diversification of rural activities aim at sustaining households‟ livelihoods. About 45% of rural women who only had informal education could not effectively sustain their households‟ livelihoods by diversifying rural activities because they could neither read, write nor understand. Rural women who are unmarried and divorced negatively influence the diversification of rural activities for sustaining households‟ livelihoods as compared to married women. It has also been revealed that rural women with „large‟ size households effectively carry out diversification for sustaining livelihoods than those with „small‟ size households.
