Abstract

The present work is the result of a research carried out from February to March 2004 on the issue of population migration and its implications for the socio-economic development of the district of Morrumbala. The work aims to analyze the implications of population migration on the district's socio-economic development. In a first phase, the survey of information necessary for the work was based on bibliographic consultation; the subsequent phase, that of collecting information in the field, was completed by semi-structured interviews with the population in Morrumbala, including key informants and observation. Thus, the study reached the following conclusions: migration in the district of Morrumbala involves mostly male individuals, single, with education levels ranging from 1st grade of primary education to 1st cycle of secondary education, unemployed, aged between 15 and 39 years old. The main migratory flows are Morrumbala-Malawi; administrative posts-vil the headquarters and Morrumbala-Quelimane. The survey results show that the search for employment opportunities, informal trade, better living conditions, irregular distribution and infrastructure conditions, the quality of social and economic services, encourage migration in this district.(TRADUÇÁO NOSSA)
