CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
The mobility of man has increased with technical and economic
process. He has specialized means of transport to assist his mobility as much
that distance is spoken of in terms of time according to the mode of transport.
Migration is a dynamic
component of population with reference to movement of people from one
geographical area to another.
Migration can be classified
into the following;
a)
Rural – rural migration
b) Rural –
urban migration
c)
Urban – urban migration
d) Urban –
rural migration
But attention will be focused
on rapid urbanization process and this has caused great pressure on the
existing infrastructure consequently.
This has however led to a
deplorable living condition, unemployment and congestion of the urban centres.
The rationalization of
infrastructure has become the order of the day and unemployment problem among
the people in Ese-Odo Local Government Area of Ondo State.
There has been a large movement
of people from rural areas to urban centres since independence
This project is meant to find
out the causes and effects of rural-urban migration, which has now become
rampant in the study area Ese-Odo Local Governemnt Area.
Perhaps, this movement may be
as a result of inadequacy of socio amenities in the rural areas, searching for
white collar jobs, educational purposes etc. But finance and time have been the
major constraints to the realization of this project work.
The objectives of this study
that will be achieved include the following;
a) To
identify the causes of rural-urban migration in the study area
b) To
highlight the effects of rural-urban migration in the area
c) To
suggest ways of controlling rural-urban migration in the area
Since this project work will be
guided by the following research questions,
a) What
are the causes of rural-urban migration in Ese-odo L.G.A.?
b) What are
the effects of rural-urban migration in the area?
c) What
are the possible ways to check rural-urban migration in Ese-odo L.G.A.?
The study of migration has
become a problem for a long time now, because since the world began, people
have been moving from one locality to another in search of favorable
opportunities such as good accommodation, good job, education, health, good
communication networks, water and power supply.
The study will help to educate
the mind of the individual, policy makers and the government to see the need to
formulate policies for integrated rural development to check rural-urban drift
in Ese-odo local government area.
The scope of the study will
cover the causes and effects of rural-urban migration in Ese-odo Local
Government Area, Ondo State.
