Project description

The project seeks to provide a deeper understanding of the root causes of migration within and out of developing countries using an innovative micro level dataset. It will analyze people’s intentions and plans to respond to climate change and violence by migrating either internally or internationally, as well as the factors (household income, family composition, region of residence)
determining this choice.
