Objective • Explore the poverty migration nexus • Spatial relationship • Differentiate by types of migration • Methodology • Estimate district & commune migration flows • Produce migration maps and compare to poverty maps
Outline • Background • Results/Maps • Absorption/Expulsion Indices • Comparison with Poverty Maps • Different Levels of Geo-Disaggregation • Conclusions
Background • Poverty • 25.4% below poverty line • Highest incidence in rural areas and the North-East • Migration • International • 600,000+ permanent; plus temporary/seasonal • Internal • RuralUrban & UrbanUrban (Tirana and Coast)
Migration Typologies • Mostly internal: North East – Mountain • Internal receivers & international senders: Tirana, Coast, Korce • International outflows: South, Malesi e Madhe, Kucove
Data & Methodology • Data: 1989 & 2001 Population and Housing Censuses & 2002 Poverty Map (Small Area Est.) • Population balancing equation: • Expulsion index: Outflow/Pop89 • District level • Internal • International • Absorption index: Inflow/Pop01 • District & commune level
ExpulsionInternational Internal Poverty
TiranaInflow Poverty 35% + New residents in the poorest areas!
Conclusions/1 • Welfare and location important determinants • Internal ≠International • Poverty: Push factor for internal, constraint to international? • Fight poverty at source! • Urban: poverty higher among recent immigrants
Conclusions (Cont’d) • Further research: • Causality • Sequencing • Return migration
