“…This implies that majority of the households in the rural areas are larger in size than their urban counterpart which usually have between 1 and 4 members. This finding is in agreement with Ehirim et al (2012) and Ango et al, (2014) who reported that the household size of rural people is always much when compared to its counterpart living in the city because of their dependence on the family as a source of farm labour. Table shows that 76.3% of the respondents had secondary education with few (11.3%) had tertiary education.…”

“…This finding indicated that majority of the respondents were single which could make it easy for them to travel out of the village due to less responsibility of caring for wife and children. This finding is in conformity with the finding of Abdur-Rokib and Abdul-Goni (2011), Ehirim et al (2012), Pradhan (2013) and Ango et al (2014) who reported that the single people among the members of the society migrated more than the married ones, which could be attributed to the fact that those married may find it difficult to move without their household members.…”

This study examined the factors influencing rural-urban migration of youths in Osun State, Nigeria. A multistaged sampling technique was employed in the selection of 240 of the respondents (youth) from three local government areas of the state. Data for this study were sourced primarily through the use of well-structured questionnaire. Both descriptive and inferential analyses were employed in the analyses of the data. The result of this study showed that mean age of the respondents was 22.60 years. The study further revealed that majority (68.8%) of the respondents were male, single, had family size of between 5-8 and had secondary education. The results revealed that the poor electricity supply in the rural areas, bad condition of roads, absence of pipe-borne water were push factors driving the youth away from their communities into urban areas. Results further revealed that better employment opportunities, superior wages in the urban areas, improved living condition are pull factors that attract rural youths to the urban centres. Majority (68.8%) of the respondents were not willing to stay in the rural areas with or without improvement in the condition of living in their communities. The results of this study revealed that age (r-0.51; p < 0.01), sex ( 2-34.57; p < 0.05) and educational level ( 2-45.57; p < 0.01) of the respondents were significantly related to their decision to migrate from rural to urban areas. The study recommends that government should provide basic social amenities in the rural areas as they are found in the urban so as to encourage the youth to stay.

“…Socio-economic factors and reasons for migration are the variables of the study. Youth migrate to urban areas and it had a detrimental effect on the agriculture production (Ango et al, 2014). Nurzhanova et al (2020) analysed the impact of population migration in the Republic of Kazakhstan.…”

Rural-urban migration has been very evident in global population changes in recent decades, especially in India, where migration growth rates are among the highest in the world. Many research articles focused only on the migration of young farmers in India. This article highlights the migration of young farmers from rural to urban areas in Bengaluru, their sustainability, and a survey made on the young farmer's migration. In this context, the study was conducted in the Bangalore region on the migration of Anantapur young farmers, Andhra Pradesh. This study examines the sustainability of young farmers after migration to urban areas and, based on this objective, to find out young migrant farmers are financially well-being or not. For the purpose of analysis, 500 primary data are collected from the young migrant farmers. The Probit model is employed to assess whether young migrant farmers were economically stable or not. The study's findings show that young migrated farmers to urban areas are more likely to be unsustainable due to the cost of living and additional costs. Young migrant farmers do not have enough income so they take loans from private lenders to meet their needs.

“…Although several literature reviews or meta-analyses exist on the environmental influence on human mobility in West Africa (Jónsson 2010, Obokata et al 2014, Gautier et al 2016, Thober et al 2018, Borderon et al 2019, to date there is no scientific literature that specifically address reasons for migration in destination areas and areas of origins, nor scientific reviews that include a spatially explicit analysis of all possible driving forces in West Africa. In the studies published so far, the reasons for migration have mostly been presented in the form of text, tables, or bar charts (Ango et al 2014, Olaniyan and Okeke-Uzodike 2015, Goldbach 2017, Neumann and Hermans 2017. The majority of studies have illustrated migration routes separately from the underlying factors (Henry et al 2003, Rademacher-Schulz et al 2014, Warner and Afifi 2014, Goldbach 2017.…”

Migration in West Africa has been taking place for centuries for different reasons. Many dimensions of migration remain insufficiently documented and poorly understood. In particular, factors of migration in destination areas and areas of origin are still lacking comprehensive analysis. In this paper, we bring a new perspective to the model of push and pull factors of migration in West Africa by reviewing and analyzing interview-based case studies of migration related to Ghana, Burkina Faso, and Nigeria, as well as to the associated migration routes. The overall aim of this study was to determine the areas that individuals historically chose as destinations for migration and what they perceived to be the distinctive conditions in those areas. Hence, characteristic features about destination areas and areas of origin were identified and located in maps, whereas interrelationships among push and pull factors were illustrated by means of Sankey diagrams. With these tools, we provide a novel combination for visualizing the reasons for migration. The literature review emphasizes the complex relationships between different drivers of migration, with environmental and economic factors emerging as the most important drivers of migration in the focus countries. Moreover, the identified and mapped migration patterns suggest that individuals migrate mainly from the northern part of a particular country to its center or southern regions. This scientific approach shows that the spatial allocation of migratory movements can facilitate assessments on how to meet specific Sustainable Development Goals and to improve regional policies.
