Do social protection programs foster short-term and long-term migration adaptation strategies?

Abstract: We examine how migration is influenced by temperature and precipitation variability, and the extent to which the receipt of a cash transfer affects the use of migration as an adaptation strategy. Climate data is merged with georeferenced panel data (2010–2014) on individual migration collected from the Zambian Child Grant Program (CGP) sites. We use the person-year dataset to identify the direct and heterogeneous causal effects of the CGP on mobility. Having access to cash transfers doubles the rate of male, s… Show more

“…Third, more evidence is needed to design and evaluate interventions that can enhance resilience to climatic variability as it relates to children's health and nutrition. There has been some attention to the ways in which development interventions (e.g., cash transfers) may moderate the effects of climatic variability on population processes in Africa (Mueller et al 2019), but overall very little evidence is available to design interventions that mitigate the demographic and health impacts of climatic change. The large number of governmental (e.g., Ethiopia's Productive Safety 24 Net Program) and non-governmental (e.g., GiveDirectly cash transfers) social protection programs being implemented across sub-Saharan Africa provide ample opportunity to conduct such assessments.…”

“…Isso possivelmente pode ser explicado por haver a possibilidade de outras estratégias de adaptação além da migração nesses casos (Bardsley, Hugo, 2010). Assim, a migração pode ser uma resposta adiada até que todas as alternativas in situ sejam esgotadas (Nawrotzki, Dewaard, 2016). Há que se considerar também que, especialmente no caso do semiárido nordestino, a seca possibilita múltiplas respostas (Gray, Mueller, 2012) devido os efeitos sobre os meios de subsistência e sobrevivência dos indivíduos serem de início lento, contribuindo para respostas de curto prazo.…”

“…Por outro lado, o Gráfico 1 mostra que nos domicílios com renda domiciliar per capita entre 1/2 e 1 salário mínimo a participação de domicílios com emigrantes é maior. Embora uma parcela da população possa considerar a migração como uma estratégia de adaptação (Bardsley, Hugo, 2010), seja por questões puramente econômicas e/ou ambientais, a decisão de migrar envolve uma combinação de uma série de motivações, desde econômicas às aspirações individuais, mas também por influências dos custos intervenientes (Lee, 1966;Hugo, 1996) e, nesse caso, de outras estratégias de adaptação disponíveis aos indivíduos ou domicílios (Warner et al, 2009;Nawrotzki, Dewaard, 2016).…”
