Life in motion
Urbanization in Cameroon is driven largely by internal migration, yet the micro-level dynamics of migrants’ residential moves in an African context remain understudied. This article seeks to answer the research question ‘What characterizes residential trajectories of Anglophone migrants in Douala?’ with specific attention to how these trajectories are shaped by three main interacting forces: (1) migrants’ individual (and household) characteristic…
Residential Mobility Decisions of Anglophone Migrants in Douala, Cameroon
What are the drivers for domestic migration and intra-urban mobility in a Sub-Sahara African context? This study analyses this aspect by looking at residential mobility decisions of Anglophone migrants in Douala.

Secondly, formal mechanisms that enable access to decent …

This article analyzes the influence of households’ socio-economic situations on…
