Book synopsis

There are various interrelated and diverse factors that motive or push children to migrate from their place of origin to the cities. The researcher explored the causes that push or motivate children for out-migration from Edja district to different cities in Ethiopia. In-depth interview and field observation were used to collect data from the respondents of the study. As the finding of the study indicated the major causes of child out-migration to the cities are related with the economy of the district. But there are other factors, like the positive perception of the community about life in the cities,large family size,poor health & educational services that push or motivate children to migrate to the cities. The implication of this study for social work practice is that social workers may intervene in raising the awareness of the community about negative effects of child out- migration, the importance of education for children's future career development & the benefit of having small family size.
