GENERAL BACKGROUND• Population growth and urbanisation in sub-
Saharan Africa• Mainly due to Rural to Urban Migration and
Natural Increase• Negative outcomes related to urbanisation in
SSA:– Population pressure on services in ill-equipped cities (such
as housing, health and education) and economic opportunities often leads to:• Slum formation – poor quality housing, lack of sanitation,
lack of access to clean water and health services.• Unemployment and growth in the informal labour market
– poverty, precarious livelihoods

GENERAL BACKGROUND• Phenomenon of female autonomous migration
emerging from previously male dominated process• Evidence of autonomous female migration in South-
East Asia and Latin America, West Africa, South Africa
• Causes of feminisation of migration– Household poverty, fragile ecosystems– Less marriage, better female education– Increase in family and refugee migration
• Consequences of feminisation of migration– Change of gender roles in the family and labour market– Potential knock on effect of reducing fertility
• But no evidence on trends, causes and consequences of sex composition of migration in African slums yet

STUDY SETTING• High Rural-Urban
migration (esp. Nairobi)
• Over half urban population living in slums
• Rel. high education• Informal Sector• Poverty

DATA• Nairobi Urban Health Demographic Surveillance
Site (NUHDSS)– Who?
• No sampling – ALL residents– When?
• Initial Census in August 2002• Every 4 month• I will use data from 01 January 2003 – 31
December 2007– What is collected in the main DSS?
• Demographic data (births, deaths, in and out migration)
• Socio-Economic data (marriage, education, employment, assets)
• Health Data (morbidity, vaccinations, verbal autopsy)

DATA• Nairobi Urban Health Demographic Surveillance Site
(NUHDSS)• Nested surveys:
– Migration history• Who?
– >= 12 years old– 14000 sampled 11487 responses
• When?– September 2006 - April 2007
• What is collected?– 11 year migration history calendar (every month)– Detailed cross-sectional questionnaire
– Birth histories and marital histories collected periodically

Aims
1. Define migrant typologies and assess differences between female and male migrant types.
2. Assess whether or not there has been a trend of feminisation of migration between 1996 and 2006.

METHODS• Basic descriptive analysisAim 1• Sequence Analysis
– Descriptive Analysis of Sequences– Compare sub-groups– Create typologies
• Logistic Regression• Multinomial logistic regressionAim 2• Mantel-Haenzel test for trend
– sex ratio of migrants over time– sex ratio of autonomous migrants over time– sex ratio of economic migrants over time

Conclusions and discussion
![Page 41: FEMALE AND MALE MIGRATION PATTERNS INTO THE URBAN SLUMS OF NAIROBI, 1996 - 2006: EVIDENCE OF FEMINISATION OF MIGRATION? Ligaya Batten PhD Student Centre.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081516/56649eec5503460f94bfe369/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Conclusions (i)• Female migrants more mobile than
male• Strong differences between study sites• Migrant types:
• Females – recent migrants• Korogocho – serial migrants• Economic migrants – serial and circular
migrants• Associational migrants – recent, serial and
circular migrants

Conclusions (ii)• Trend of feminisation of migration
found:• Decrease in the sex ratio of migration
into the study site from 1996 - 2006• Decrease in the sex ratio of autonomous
migration into the study site from 1996 - 2006
• Decrease in the sex ratio of economic migration into the study site from 1996 - 2006

Limitations• Under-sampling of migrants in the
migration history survey• Recall bias• Time varying data lacking for certain
important characteristics• E.g. Marital status, education level, socio-
economic status
• Definition of economic and autonomous migration open to interpretation

Implications
• Feminisation of migration may have both social and demographic consequences:• Change in women’s roles, increase in
women’s empowerment• May lead to a number of positive
consequences – gender equality in the labour market, improvements in child health and education
• Urban “modernised” lifestyles - potential for fertility decline and therefore reduction in future population growth

Planned Future Work• Use cluster analysis to group sequences
according to characteristics other than the place of origin, such as motivation, ethnicity, education level, and perhaps other demographic characteristics
• Use migration typologies as explanatory variables for exploring the following:• Employment
• Identify which migrant types have the best chances of employment in the study site, by sex (controlling for employment status in the place of origin).
• Establish the extent to which unemployment increases the likelihood of out-migration from the study site.
• Fertility• Describe the trends in family building patterns of
migrants on non-migrants over the last eleven years.
