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.'
