The objective of this study is to investigate the linkage between migration and livelihood diversification with emphasis on the socio-economic and structural processes that impact on rural to urban migration. The specific objectives include: to explore the factors affecting rural to urban migration by focusing on household assets and social attachment variables; to examine the different ways by which migration affects rural households' livelihoods and vice versa; to examine rural-urban linkages using migration with the aim of contributing to efforts to understand the migration process in the Amhara region; and to investigate the impact, direct or indirect, of government policy on trends of rural to urban migration in Ethiopia.

"Rural-urban migration is a phenomenon that, on the one hand, reflects the dearth of employment opportunities in the rural areas and on the other, plenty of the same in the urban areas. Returns from farm activities, which dominate the rural economy, have been steadily declining in the developing countries; in non-farm activities, the returns are not much better. Employment, while being the main driver of rural-urban migration, is not the only one; in recent times, social factors, such as education and health care have also been driving rural-urban migration. While some view rural-urban migration as a problem to be addressed in terms of urban congestion, others view it as a coping strategy for the poor who seek to diversify their livelihoods. This book throws light on the phenomenon of rural-urban migration examining various perspectives on it, the global trends and challenges, and the strategies to address these challenges."--Publisher's description.

This book was released on 2016-01-01. Addressing rural youth migration at its root causes: A Conceptual Framework available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Distress migration is particularly acute among rural youth. Agriculture and rural development are central to the rate of rural out-migration to urban areas. The agricultural sector needs to engage youth in order to increase global food production. In doing so, agricultural transformation can balance out-migration from rural areas and thus contribute to stable growth. This document presents the conceptual framework for distress migration of rural youth. The framework focuses on the migration of rural youth (aged 15–24), who account for a large proportion of migrants and are a particularly vulnerable group. The framework comprises three sections: 1. Analysis of the main factors determining the propensity of rural youth to migrate; 2. Assessment of the likely impacts of distress migration of rural youth in terms of rural development for local areas of origin; 3. Illustration of the most promising policies and programmes to reduce distress migration of rural youth and maximize its dev elopmental benefits for the communities of origin.

This book was released on 2019-06-25. Rural Migration in the Near East and North Africa – Regional trends available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. The Near East and North Africa (NENA) has always been affected and in many ways shaped by the high levels of human mobility. However, rural migration - or migration to, from and between rural areas - is often overlooked, despite its important ramifications for food security, agriculture, rural development and regional disparities. In the next decade, persistent poverty, climatic threats and increasing competition for natural resources may fuel greater levels of migration across NENA countries. This report was designed to provide policy makers, practitioners and development partners with an overview of the main challenges and opportunities of rural migration in the NENA region.

Download and read online ebook Urban Planning and Everyday Urbanisation write by Nadine Appelhans. This book was released on 2016-12-31. Urban Planning and Everyday Urbanisation available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Urbanisation in Bahir Dar, Ethiopia, poses challenges to urban living conditions. Despite large scale housing programmes from the side of the government, construction and settling processes have largely remained incremental. Nadine Appelhans focuses on the relation between statutory planning and practices of everyday urbanisation. The findings from Bahir Dar suggest that some mundane regimes of building the city are patronised, while others are considered undesired by policy makers. Based on this insight, the author argues that urban development in Bahir Dar needs to be locally grounded, differentiated and inclusive to avoid further tendencies of segregation.
