  • Title: [Migration of young people in Burkina].
    Author: Boutillier J, Quesnel A, Vaugelade J.
    Journal: Cah Orstom (Sci Hum); 1985; 21(2-3):243-9. PubMed ID: 12267600.
    Abstract:
    Migration patterns in Burkina Faso, contributing factors, and migrant characteristics are examined. Data are from published literature for the years 1969-1973. Net emigration from Burkina Faso, primarily to the Ivory Coast and Ghana, is shown to be the predominant trend. The migrant population consists largely of men aged 15-30 from the rural Mossi regions. The socioeconomic context contributing to the observed emigration and the benefits to the communities of origin as a result of these movements are considered. The impact of return migration on agricultural development is discussed.
