| Research Theme TPP Multilocal Livelihoods |
|
| Summary: |
Livelihood diversification is increasingly depending on migration. A common feature is that only parts of families migrate, causing a multi-locality of households. This implies that migration contributes to sustaining income but is also often causing high social costs like family separation or exploitation. Moreover while pressure on natural resources can cause migration, migration can also cause new conflicts on rights of access to natural resources but also access to labour markets, social protection and infrastructure.
Focus of the research project is an indepth-analysis and comparision of patterns of household multi-locality, as a consequence of migration, and the resulting risks and potentials for livelihoods. Case studies are carried out in Centralasia, Southasia, and Centralamerica.
