They Don’t Want Foreigners’: Zimbabwean migration and the rise of xenophobia in Botswana
Xenophobia is becoming an increasingly common response to migration within the Global South, often taking the form of collective violence against migrants and refugees. It has also permeated central and local state structures leading to systemic discrimination, denial of basic rights and constant harassment of migrants and refugees. For a decade or more, South Africa has been plagued by xenophobic violence directed at Zimbabweans living in the co…
Moderating Poverty: The Role of Remittances from Migration in Botswana
This study examines internal labour migration of Botswana citizens and their remittance behaviour. Though international remittance is among topical global issues, it does not appear to contribute much currently towards national development in Botswana. About twenty-five years ago remittances from internal migration had no impact on poverty. This study indicates that the situation has not changed. The new economic theory of labour migration is add…
The geography of HIV/Aids infection in Botswana
Background Botswana9s Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/Acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) epidemic is unprecedented in magnitude and impact. For two decades starting during the early 1990s, HIV infection rates in this country of less than two million people have grown tremendously. While the impact of HIV/AIDS is clear for all to see, for a number of years, estimating the population based HIV prevalence rate was a big challenge due to a…
The role of remittances in Botswana: Does internal migration really reward sending families
This study examines internal labour migration of Botswana citizens and their remittance behaviour. Although international remittance is among topical global issues that will be investigated for quite some time into the future, it does not appear to contribute much towards national development in Botswana presently. About 25 years ago remittances from internal migration did little to assist households in meeting their basic needs. This study indic…
Brain Drain Potential in Botswana
This paper examines the prospect of emigration of skilled professional citizens from Botswana. Since 1980, international migration of skilled people from, and within, sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA) has surpassed anything previously witnessed in the twentieth century. One consequence of the increasing frequency of such migration is growing governmental resistance in developed countries to free movement of skilled labour. Unlike most SSA countries, Botsw…

Attitudes of Botswana Citizens toward Immigrants: Signs of Xenophobia
This study is borne out of observations over the past decade that citizens of Botswana were increasingly feeling resentful of labour immigrants in the country. A survey questionnaire was administered to a sample of 781 male and female Batswana (citizens of Botswana) in three urban centres in Botswana. The purpose was to obtain opinions of Batswana about immigrants. The paper begins by examining the meaning of xenophobia. The results indicate that…
Preferences for emigration among skilled citizens in Botswana
Botswana has enjoyed a buoyant economy since the 1980s, and this has made the country attractive to its citizens as well as immigrants from other countries. Although it exported large numbers of migrants to South Africa in the past, very few skilled nationals have left the country to work elsewhere. But, with increasing production of professional Batswana (citizens of Botswana) and limited employment opportunities, it is becoming ever more likely…
Family Size and Sex Preferences and Eventual Fertility in Botswana
Botswana is one of the sub-Saharan countries where actual fertility has declined. This study examines the fertility preferences of both men and women and shows that fertility intentions have a significant influence on future fertility behaviour. Fertility preferences are relatively low and there is no significant difference between those of men and women. Men's preference for sons influences desired family size and eventual fertility. For women a…
Fertility, family size preferences and future fertility prospects of men in the western area of Sierra Leone
This paper examines the current fertility of men and women in the Western area of Sierra Leone and the prospects for future fertility behaviour. Probably due to the effect of rapid economic decline in Sierra Leone since 1980, the desired family size has fallen. But indications are that the preferred completed family size is lower than the desired family size
Sex preferences for offspring among men in the western area of Sierra Leone
This study reveals evidence of a significant sex preference among men. Programmes aimed at changing men's views on the importance of the sex of a child must be implemented in order to reduce the desired family size and eventual fertility.
