Internal Migration Is an Effective Risk Management Strategy for Households in Rural Tanzania

Pietrelli, Rebecca; Scaramozzino, Pasquale

Abstract

Various explanations have been put forward to shed light on individual decisions to migrate and the effects of migration on the household of origin. Using panel data from migrants and original households living in Tanzania, Rebecca Pietrelli and Pasquale Scaramozzino test a new perspective: migration as an effective strategy adopted by original households for managing risk.
