abstract: 'Migration, important for many areas in development, is strongly related
to employment. Debate over labour supply in developing countries
frequently hinges on labour migration. This paper examines the
determinants of spatial mobility of working-age adults in South Africa,
using the first nationally representative longitudinal survey - the
National Income Dynamics Study - for 2008-10. The paper outlines the
unique advantages of these data for the study of individual mobility -
data that open the possibility of a new research project. Specifically,
it asks how policy-relevant programmes, such as social transfers and
housing assistance, affect migration. This paper finds, on balance, that
transfers are negatively correlated with subsequent relocation. Previous
migration is also predictive of future migration and both are tightly
related to attrition, while there is an increasing but strongly
non-linear relationship between income and mobility. Further, we
highlight potential pitfalls - including attrition, and definitional
difficulties - in the study of migration and illustrate possible
solutions.'
