Mobility, Labour and Livelihoods projects |
As the Southern African economy transforms due to policies, crises, and global trends, so too do forms of mobility and patterns of migration and their impacts on individual, community, and regional patterns of work and exchange. This research theme focuses on the impact of crossborder trading; seasonal migration for commercial farming, and migration for study, training and asylum. It pays special attention to negotiations between governments and business, internal labour migration, and working conditions in various sectors.
