dc.description.abstract | In recent years the rate of rural-urban migration has become alarming as more people drift into
the urban centers every year from the rural areas; it is against this backdrop that this paper
examines the causes of rural-urban youth migration and their consequences on the destination
place with a reference to two selected sub-Cities of Addis Ababa. A qualitative approach was
employed and a survey was carried out amongst 104 youth migrants drawn from Bole and Addis
Ketema sub-cities of Addis Ababa specified areas. The analysis indicates that the major causes
of rural-urban migration were; mainly, search for employment and because of crop failure.
Others migrated in search of better education, as curiosity to be free from family and cultural
restrictions, seeking good climate and to use Addis Ababa as a transit to migrate to foreign
countries. The analysis also further indicates that some of the problems confronted by migrants
in the destination place during arrival were mostly, lack of shelter, shortage of food, lack of
medical care and other related consumer items and inability to obtain jobs, secure peace and
stability and other social services. It is recommended that the Government should strive to scale
up provision of social amenities and required facilities to the rural areas so as to enable rural
youths stay in their birth places to be engaged in some developmental activities that would help
them find jobs for their livelihoods. In addition to these, vocational training centers should be
established in the rural centers for training of the productive youths for self-employment again,
in order to curtail the continuous massive migration from rural to urban areas and at the same
time to initiate and speed up rural development in all fronts. | en_US |
