Diffusion of innovation in family size ideation and acceptability of contraceptive use between migrants and non-migrants in rural Senegal
BACKGROUNDUrban-rural diffusion of family-building ideals, beliefs, and behaviors has long been hypothesized to drive fertility transitions.Though the idea is supported on the aggregate level, little prior research has addressed individual-level diffusion.Understanding such mechanisms may be especially important in the high-fertility context of sub-Saharan Africa. OBJECTIVEWe estimate the association of exposure of rural residents in a small Sene…
Rural-Urban Migration and Fertility Ideation in Senegal
In low- and middle-income countries, significant differences in fertility beliefs between rural and urban areas arise from the differential timing and pace of fertility declines. Demographers have long hypothesized about the diffusion of these beliefs and behaviors from urban to rural areas, potentially via temporary rural-urban labor migration. In this paper, we investigate the association between temporary internal migration from rural Senegal …
Who Matters Most? Migrant Networks, Tie Strength, and First Rural–Urban Migration to Dakar
Social networks' influence on migration has long been explored largely through the lenses of cumulative causation and social capital theory. This article aims to reconceptualize elements of these theories for the case of rural–urban migration and test their utility in explaining first-migration timing. We use a uniquely extensive social network survey linked to prospectively collected migration data in rural Senegal. We decompose migrant networks…
