Does Domestic Migration have a Challenge? Evidence from Northwestern Ethiopia | Chapter 08 | Current Research in Education and Social Studies Vol. 2
The role of internal migration to the
poor rural households is highly recognizable because of its low cost of travel
and immediate response for livelihood shocks and problems. Despite the fact,
internal migration has a tremendous contribution to the livelihood of the rural
households; yet it is not free of challenges in the pursuit of its benefits.
This study, similar to previous works has recommended the need to conduct
survey on the challenges of domestic migration. Therefore, this study mainly
focused on the main problems associated with internal migration in rural
setting of North Gondar where internal migration is dominated. Both
quantitative and qualitative research approaches were utilized. According to
the study, the result revealed migration towards the rural areas for labor work
following farming activities in the large scale farming fenced with ethnic
conflict among workers, prevalence of theft, payment suspension as well
disease. Besides, the result of the study revealed that migrants toward the
urban area challenges are mainly related to brokers’ deception, lack of
immediate job and life costs. Thus, if internal migration is required to play
its role as one of the livelihood strategies for subsistence producers of the
rural households in the domestic market, the associated challenges of internal
migration must have relieving solutions.
