Ethiopia: Child Trafficking, Youth Migration Causes Population Explosion in the Capital

opinion

The author, Peter Stalker, describes the theory of migration in terms of individual approach, structural perspective, and networks or systems theory. The individual approach focuses on individual choices, including family or group choices. According to this scholar, it is also labeled as 'human capital' approach, because it is looked at in terms of education, skills, and health investments in persons. The structural approach deals with influences that are more social, economic, or political, such as population pressures and unemployment. Networks and systems theory involves more than individual decisions and structural forces. It combines movement of goods and capital with political and cultural elements.
