Migration in South and Southern Africa: Dynamics and Determinants - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Coping with immigration and urbanisation in a rapidly globalising environment is one of the policy issues facing many governments, yet the complexity of migration makes it difficult for planners to understand its causes and plan for its consequences. In this wide-ranging work, prominent migration scholars provide insight into the current dynamics and determinants of both immigration and migration in South and southern Africa, and reflect on how the lifting of apartheid has affected migration in the region. The book covers three broad areas: macro-level migration trends in sub-Saharan Africa; micro-level factors in South African migration; and a synthesis of current migration theory. A crucial resource for policymakers and development planners, this volume also serves as a useful primer for students of urban planning, economics, demography, sociology, and development studies.
