1 How migrants choose their destination in Burkina Faso? A place-utility approach Prof. Sabine Henry Geography department, FUNDP, Belgium Prof. Richard Bilsborrow Carolina Population Center, Univ. of North Carolina, USA IUSSP, Fuzhou, December 2011 Supported by AUF
2 Contextual factors of migration Theory Push and pull model (Lee, 1966) The cost-benefit model (Sjaastad, 1962) The place utility approach (Wolpert, 1965) Application Recently, contextual factors at the origin influence the migration decision Very few studies on factors at the destination (mostly in developed countries) Environmental versus economic migrants? 2
3 Objective of this study Objective To understand how migrants, leaving a village or a secondary town, choose their destination in Burkina Faso. Assumption Push factors = pull factors Hypotheses #1. A favourable natural environment is a pull factor of major importance for migrants. #2. The economic diversification of villages attracts migrants. 3
4 The study area: Burkina Faso Rainfall conditions Land degradation Population Migration
5 General background - Sahelian region in West Africa - Largely a rural country :. 80 % of the population living in settlements of less than inhabitants. Agriculture is the main source of livelihood (90 % of the population) - Country s economy depends heavily on the agriculture :. 1/3 of GDP comes from subsistence farming and cattle-raising The agro-climatic conditions are critical to rural households, for which agriculture represents the main source of livelihood
6 Agro-climatic context Four agro-climatic regions (New, Hulme et Jones, 2000) Strong south-north decreasing gradient of annual rainfall
7 Agro-climatic context context Four agro-climatic regions (New, Hulme et Jones, 2000) Strong south-north decreasing gradient of annual rainfall The Sahel : - Climate :. < 500 mm rainfall a year. High temperatures - Agriculture :. Extensive pastoralism and subsistence farming
8 North 8
9 Agro-climatic context context Four agro-climatic regions (New, Hulme et Jones, 2000) Strong south-north decreasing gradient of annual rainfall The South-West : - Climate :. > 900 mm rainfall a year - Agriculture :. Subsistence and cash crops
10 South-West 10
11 Agro-climatic context context Four agro-climatic regions (New, Hulme et Jones, 2000) Strong south-north decreasing gradient of annual rainfall Two intermediary regions :. From 500 to 699 mm rainfall a year. Subsistence agriculture (sensitive to rainfall conditions). From 700 to 899 mm rainfall a year. Subsistence and cash crops
12 Annual rainfall (mm) Rainfall situation ( ) High interannual rainfall variations
13 Population density (1996) Census in ,3 million people Urban rate: 20% Life expectancy: 53.8 years 13
14 Migration in Burkina Faso 2.9% of the population moved between provinces in 1996, 4% in 1985 (Source : INSD, 2000). First rural out-migration ( ) Duration 4 out of 5 migrations are long-term (>= 2 years) Destination 48% to Rural areas 14 % to Urban areas 38% to Abroad (mostly to Côte d Ivoire) Migration motives Male Economic reasons Female Family (Source: EMIUB, 2000 in Henry et al., 2004) 14
15 Methods and data
16 Data Migration dynamics, urban integration and environment survey in Burkina Faso (EMIUB) Individual life history data (2000) National survey, 8644 individuals A complete migration history since the age of Male, born in 1966, farmer House characteristics Migration purpose Matrimonial status etc

22 Migration model Multinomial logit model: limit to a few destination choices Use of a random utility model (estimated by a discrete-time logistic regression) An individual is able to evaluate the utility associated to each potential destination and to choose the place that maximizes his utility. The choice of moving from location j to location k depend on: the attributes of locations j and k; the attributes of many other potential locations. k a b j 22
23 Variables Period Dependant variable Last male migration (more than 3 months) before the survey (2000) from a village or a medium-sized town to a village or m-s town after age 15 Control factors at the individual-level Age, education, ethnic group and main economic activity (TV) Control factors at the community-level Size of the settlement (TV) Distance to the two main cities Presence of road in the settlement (TV) Sample 1801 males including 217 migrants. 23

27 Mean annual rainfall at the destination ( agricultural productivity) Attraction of the drier regions (return migration?) Odds ratio The risk to chose this region is 3x higher than for the 900mm region mm mm mm 900 mm and over Mean annual rainfall at the destination (Ref.) Intra-prov. Inter-prov. Significant result 27
28 1,2 Rainfall deviation at the destination ( drought) Odds ratio 1 0,8 0,6 0,4 0,2 0 If drought: repulsion < 85 % % 95 and over Odds ratio No significant results for longdistance moves < 85 % % 95 and over Rainfall deviation at the destination (Ref.) = normal rainfall (Ref.) = normal rainfall Significant result 28
29 #2. The economic diversification of villages attracts migrants. Presence of income-generating activities: gardening, cash crop, paid farm employment, paid non-farm employment (TV) Modernization of agriculture: plow, tractor, irrigation, use of water-conservation techniques (TV)

33 Conclusions
34 Conclusions Few studies on pull effects of migration in an African setting Place utility approach (random utility model) #1. A favourable natural environment is a pull factor of major importance for migrants. ONLY for short-distance mig - Repulsion if drought - Attraction of the drier regions #2. The economic diversification of villages attracts Presence of income-generating activities - Attraction of gardening - Repulsion of paid Modernization of agriculture - Attraction of tractor - Repulsion of irrigation and water-conservation techniques 34

36 Additional questions Models by categories of migrants (motives, main activity, ethnic group, age group, etc.) but limitation by the size of the sample; Perceptions of characteristics at the destination (transmission of information, groups of migrants, etc.); Comparison with characteristics at the origin (benefit for migrant); Social networks; Interactions between social, economic and environmental factors.
