Refugee Entrepreneurial Economies in Urban South Africa
ISBN: 9781920596354 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 46 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. One of the defining characteristics of many large cities in the rapidly urbanizing global South is the high degree of informality of shelter, services and economic livelihoods. It is these dynamic, shifting and dangerous informal urban spaces that refugees often arrive in with few resources other than a will to survive, a few social contacts and a drive to support themselves in the absence of financial support from the host government and international agencies. This report addresses the question of variability in economic opportunity and entrepreneurial activity between urban environments...

Mean Streets. Migration, Xenophobia and Informality in South Africa
ISBN: 9781920596118 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This book powerfully demonstrates that some of the most resourceful entrepreneurs in the South African informal economy are migrants and refugees. Yet far from being lauded, they take their life into their hands when they trade on South Africa's "mean streets." The book draws attention to what they bring to their adopted country through research into previously unexamined areas of migrant entrepreneurship. Ranging from studies of how migrants have created agglomeration economies in Jeppe and Ivory Park in Johannesburg, to guanxi networks of Chinese entrepreneurs, to competition and...

Food and Nutrition Security in Southern African Cities
ISBN: 9780415786782 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Urban population growth is extremely rapid across Africa and this book places urban food and nutrition security firmly on the development and policy agenda. It shows that current efforts to address food poverty in Africa that focus entirely on small-scale farmers, to the exclusion of broader socio-economic and infrastructural approaches, are misplaced and will remain largely ineffective in ameliorating food and nutrition insecurity for the majority of Africans. Using original data from the African Food Security Urban Network's (AFSUN) extensive database it is demonstrated...

Migration and Development in Africa : An Overview
ISBN: 9781920118167 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The Southern Africa Migration Project (SAPM) launches its new series on migration and development. Migration has been an integral aspect of the labour markets across much of Africa for at least the last century, cutting across class and skill boundaries. It represents an important livelihood strategy for poor households, but is also characteristic of the better off, including many African elites. Understanding is slowly emerging of the potentially positive role that migration can play in reducing poverty and mobilising the African diaspora in development. This first title in this series...

Migration Remittances and Development in
ISBN: 9781920118150 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Migrant remittances are a focus of attention worldwide, with debates raging on their impact on poverty alleviation. Less well known is that over a third of remittances to underdeveloped countries originate in other developing countries. Remittances as goods and commodities, and remittances from urban to rural areas are important. This is the case in the southern African region where cross-border migration is commonplace. Remittances to Africa easily exceed development aid, yet the comparative research and publication interest is paltry. The southern African context suffers particularly from a...
