Causes and consequences of rural-urban migration: the case of Woldiya town, North EthiopiaMiheretu, Birhan Asmame 06 1900 (has links)
In developing countries like Ethiopia rural-urban migration affects development in both urban and rural areas. As such, this study aims at establishing the major causes and consequences of the movement of people from rural to urban areas. To achieve the objective 500 migrant household heads were selected randomly from three kebeles of the town. Both primary and secondary data were employed and were analyzed both qualitatively and quantitatively. The study revealed that migrants came to Woldiya in search of employment and to utilize urban services and education. Hence, the out flow of economically active people from the rural agricultural sector has a negative effect on production in the areas of origin and the receiving area now experiences problems such as a shortage of housing, unemployment, increasing cost of living, lack of access to social services, Therefore, to mitigate the problem of rural-urban migration is launching of integrated rural development policy / Geography / M.A. (Geography)

Hired to be daughters : domestic service among ordinary MoroccansMontgomery, Mary Elizabeth January 2015 (has links)
This thesis explores why shaʿbī (roughly, ‘ordinary’) Moroccans so often talk about their domestic workers as daughters, what this means for workers and employers, and how this is changing as community gives way to market. It brings together ethnographic study of urban shaʿbī society, of unmarried rural women who work as domestics, and of the communities from which the latter migrate. Drawing on anthropological discussions of kinship and fosterage, the thesis examines the fading tradition of ‘bringing up’ in which, according to a moral economy, a ‘known’ rural girl could properly be placed in the homes of wealthier Moroccans until marriage. This is giving way to new arrangements in which ‘unknown’ workers are paid a wage and may not stay long, but in which the ethics of charity, religious reward and gratitude still inform expectations from both sides. Geared to play out among neighbours, or at least well-known clients, over a lifetime, these ethics are being disrupted by the easy-come-easy-go of strangers. The thesis contributes to some fundamental concerns of economic anthropology: the atomisation of market exchange, the growing importance of physical marketplaces, and the meanings encoded in a monetary wage versus payment in kind. By putting together perspectives from domestics’ leisure time and life back home, it also questions the relationship between the commodification of labour and individualism. Finally, the thesis discusses a draft law which, if enforced, would mean employing domestics no longer made sense for shaʿbī Moroccans, state intervention respresenting a move away from local forms of empowerment and community. At a broader level, the thesis is concerned with households as internally hierarchical units linked together through exchange to make up society and explores the gendered dimension of household economy in a wider world. This, of course, reaches beyond Morocco, and parallels are suggested with English domestic service.

Mmino wa setso: songs of town and country and the experience of migrancy by men and women from the northern Transvaal.James, Deborah January 1993 (has links)
A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Arts, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in
fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy. / The thesis attempts to illuminate the process through which identitities, apparently strongly
"ethnic", are constructed by migrant women, and to examine how these differ from the
equivalent identities constructed by men.
The focus is upon northern Transvaal migrancy, and special emphasis is given to the central
role played by musical performance - particularly that of the style called kiba - in constituting
migrant associations. Men and women form separate dance associations: the thesis is
concerned particularly with migrant women, and sets the dance groups in the broader setting
of female migrancy in southern Africa. This is a phenomenon which has been neglected in
the literature. The thesis criticises the adaptive emphasis of earlier Writings on migrant
association, and the lack of "local knowledge" in Marxist accounts,
Performers of the genre emphasise that the music is "traditional",and their lyrics legitimate
the present experiences of contemporary composers by juxtaposing them with the past
experiences of older ones. They view the roles they play in relation to their family members both living dependents and deceased forebears - in terms of stereotypes laid down by Sotho
custom. But these independent migrant female performers of the genre, in contrast to their
rurally-domiciled and. dependent counterparts, are women whose disrupted and geographically
mobile upbringing has led them to seek out modernity and progress rather than an adherence
to the ways of "traditionalists". They are primary breadwinners for their natal families.
Custom and tradition provide an idiom in terms of which, while retaining affiliations to men's
kiba sufficient to ensure their continued access to a performance space and an audience, they
enunciate an identity as relatively autonomous and emancipated migrants in an urban context. / Andrew Chakane 2018
