Book excerpt: Using a recently compiled dataset on migration and remittances in Ghana, this paper estimates the determinants of an individual?s likelihood to be an internal migrant and the relationship between internal migration and welfare. The analysis finds that the likelihood to migrate is determined by a combination of individual (pull) and community-level (push) characteristics. The probability of migration is higher for younger and more educated individuals, but communities with higher levels of literacy, higher rates of subsidized medical care, and better access to water and sanitation are less likely to produce migrants. The analysis finds that households with migrants tend to be better off than similar households without migrants, even after controlling for the fact that households with migrants are a non-random sample of Ghanaians. However, the positive relationship is only true for households with at least one migrant in urban areas; the welfare of households with migrants exclusively in rural areas is no different from households without any migrants.

Download or read book The Healthy Migrant Hypothesis and Internal Migration in Accra Ghana written by and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research worldwide indicates that health outcomes are nearly always determined by socioeconomic status, with wealthier and more prestigious members of society exhibiting a positive health advantage. However, the 2008-2009 Women's Health Study of Accra found unexpected results when data were aggregated at a neighborhood level. Lower status communities in Accra, Ghana often exhibit positive health outcomes that do not correlate with anticipated results. One possible explanation for this discrepancy is the healthy migrant hypothesis, which posits that recently arrived migrants will experience better health regardless of socioeconomic status. This thesis tests the healthy migrant hypothesis by evaluating its prerequisite assumptions (self-selectivity of migrants), assessing the health outcomes of women who have migrated within Ghana's national boundaries, and analyzing results from a spatial perspective. The results suggest that, contrary to expectations, migrants are not healthier than other neighborhood residents, and therefore their presence in a neighborhood seems unlikely to be the factor influencing the positive health outcomes observed among adults in poor neighborhoods.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The migration of labor from rural to urban areas is an important part of the urbanization process in developing countries. Even though it has been the focus of abundant research over the past five decades, some key policy questions have not found clear answers yet. To what extent is internal migration a desirable phenomenon and under what circumstances? Should governments intervene and, if so, with what types of interventions? What should be their policy objectives? To shed light on these important issues, the authors survey the existing theoretical models and their conflicting policy implications and discuss the policies that may be justified based on recent relevant empirical studies. A key limitation is that much of the empirical literature does not provide structural tests of the theoretical models, but only provides partial findings that can support or invalidate intuitions and in that sense, support or invalidate the policy implications of the models. The authors' broad assessment of the literature is that migration can be beneficial or at least be turned into a beneficial phenomenon so that in general migration restrictions are not desirable. They also identify some data issues and research topics which merit further investigation. "--World Bank web site.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This papers investigates to what extent internal migration contributes to improving households' welfare in Ghana. Using the most recent and nationally representative household survey (Ghana Living Standards Survey 2012/13), the estimates indicate that on average migration increases consumption significantly, and the effect is driven by households migrating from inland regions to the coastal areas of the country. The analysis also finds heterogeneous effects by gender and educational attainment, with migrant households headed by males and highly educated individuals faring significantly better than migrant households headed by females and low-educated individuals. The paper shows convincing evidence that the positive impact of migration on consumption is attributable to a physical mobility effect rather than changes in labor force status or sector of economic activity. However, the migration process in Ghana has important downsides, such as the brain drain and disruption of the social fabric in the communities originating migration. Future research in this area is warranted to have a more comprehensive picture of the social impact of migration in Ghana.
