The academic book "Causes, Consequences and Histories of Rural Urban Migration" by Yishak Gecho offers a comprehensive analysis of rural-urban migration in Ethiopia. It highlights the complex causes leading to this migration, including extreme poverty, food scarcity, and unemployment. The book examines both the negative and positive impacts of migration on communities, households, and individuals. It demonstrates that migration is not only a phenomenon of poorer population segments but is also practiced by middle and wealthy farmers to maximize income opportunities. The analysis encompasses various dimensions of migration and its role as a safety net for disadvantaged individuals. The book concludes with the forecast that without significant improvements in food security, infrastructure, and employment opportunities, migration from rural to urban areas will continue.
