  • Title: [Status of women and rural-urban migration in Benin: from decision to integration].
    Author: Assogba LN.
    Journal: Cah Que Demogr; 1992; 21(1):121-49. PubMed ID: 12286507.
    Abstract:
    Factors affecting the decision to migrate among women in countries around the Gulf of Benin are examined. Using data for Togo, the author notes that "rural-urban migration can be a component of women's status. Women are now better educated, even in rural Africa, and better integrated into the modern way of life, and it is likely that they will be more and more engaged in rural to urban migration in the...future. But...they need to be better skilled and/or have financial capital. Therefore, instead of implementing policies to avoid migration, policy makers must develop comprehensive strategies taking this migration dimension into account, in order to improve women's status."
