Description | ||||||
In Myanmar, many rural areas are undergoing a process of"de-agrarianization", with younger workers seeking to move out agriculture because of lack of jobs, low incomes and agro- climatic constraints. Increasing numbers of rural people are working in non- agricultural activities in or outside their places of origin in order to diversify their income and reduce risk, and also economic motives and non- economic motives. In survey area, the share of landlessness in total rural households ranges between 25% and 45 %. Because of these facts, the objectives ofthe study are to find the factors contributing to the migration process in study area and to examine the effects ofmigration on rural livelihood. The study is based upon examination of available some secondary information and collected primary data. Primary data has been collected through structured questionnaire from survey area during December 2014 to December 2015. A multi stage sampling technique, the binary logistic regression model and cross tabulation methods were used to analyze the objectives of the study. In this study, it may be concluded that main push factors, namely lower wage/income (49%), landlessness (21.4%) and job searching (20.1%) and key pull factors, namely more wage/income (59%), better job opportunity (41.3%) and existing relatives at destination (11.8%) are strong association with migration. The main impacts of migration are labor shortage and higher labor wage at the harvest time. But these are not strong effect on fanning at the origin. Another positive effect of migration on rural livelihood is receiving remittance. Almost (82%) of migrants remit some part of their income to their families. Most of the remittances aid their families and dependents (100 %) in fulfilling basic needs, including productive and non-productive investment. Therefore, rural sector development is essential, not only in terms of local improvement but also as a part of the overall national economic policy. It needs to consider the fundamental aim of rural development 11 'f'simply as agriculture and economic growth, but as balanced social and economic development, including the more t quitable distribution of land right, incentive pricing for rups, better loan policies, supporting vocational training for non-farm activities/ jobs to create job opportunities for rural surplus labor or disguised unemployment. |
