Rural-Urban Migration and its Consequence on Urban Living: The Case in Hawassa City Southern Ethiopia
Keywords:
rural-urban migration, consequence of migration, migrant, urban areas
Abstract
In some developing countries such as Ethiopia the phenomenon of rural-urban migration which is mainly triggered by rural 'push' factors and urban 'pull' factors is the main cause of unbalanced rate of population growth and distribution between urban and rural areas. This situation in turn affects the healthy development of both urban and rural areas. In spite of this fact, much is not known on many of the aspects of rural-urban migration. As such, this study is mainly concerned with an assessment of the consequence of rural-urban migration on the socio-economic condition of urban living, consequence of rural-urban migration on the environment of urban areas, and consequences of rural-urban migration on the urban labour scenario of the city. In order to find out the problems, household survey was conducted on 197 households sampled through systematic sampling. Primary data had been collected through questionnaire and interview while the secondary one was from different documented sources.
