Decision‐Making Processes of Young African Migrants Seeking to Enhance Their Livelihoods in Accra, Ghana
Young people are increasingly migrating within their own countries and across different countries to enhance their livelihoods. These migrations are often driven by economic factors, with young people seeking to take advantage of opportunities that are less available at their places of origin. At the centre of these migrations are the range of decisions young people go through, which are often not entirely taken by themselves alone. In this conte…
Young migrants on the move
Qualitative forms of enquiry offer valuable opportunities to generate rich data that deepens our understandings of contemporary social issues, such as migration. Qualitative methods are often championed for enabling the engagement of so-called hard-to-reach or vulnerable groups in research and through using techniques that support the building of research relationships and rapport with participants. However, possibilities for building rapport can…
Rethinking Empowerment
Concepts of empowerment pervade popular discourses on youth and the term is often applied uncritically as a means to leverage young people's perspectives on matters that affect their lives. Despite such focus, little critical work exists that unpacks young people's own meanings of the term, or indeed considers the possible unintended consequences that may emerge from these framings. Drawing on interviews and focus groups with 59 young African mig…
Effect of maternal migration on under-five mortality in the Navrongo HDSS area
The study has established that maternal migration, irrespective duration, contribute to child survival. Specifically, children of migrant mothers have a better survival chance than children of non-migrant mothers. To improve child survival in these poor rural settings, we recommend the promotion of conducive migration opportunities to enable women to earn some income to support their households in terms of childcare and survival
The Health Experiences of Young Internal Migrants in Ghana—Identifying Priorities for Sustainable Health Promotion
The Sustainable Development Goals underscore the importance of migration to the achievement of health, and global migration presents both opportunities and challenges for the development of health promotion. Despite such recognition, very little work has focused on health promotion with young migrants, including how migration shapes opportunities for positive health. This paper reports findings from a qualitative study that sought to advance know…
Independent North–South Child Migration as a Parental Investment in Northern Ghana
North–south independent child migration flows in Ghana have gained increasing political and research interest. Parents and adult relations actively participate in the decision of their children to migrate. In view of this, this study uses a 2005 survey of 451 independent child migrants in Accra and Kumasi to assess the extent to which this relatively new wave of migration constitutes some kind of an economic investment by parents against poverty.…
