Weather variability and food insecurity as driving forces for out-migration, 1992-2016: a study from rural Burkina Faso
type: Article
abstract: Climate variability is a common phenomenon experienced world-wide. These impacts are more perceptible in sub-Saharan Africa. In Burkina Faso, a landlocked country in Western Africa, about 80% of the population depend on their own crops for living. As a result, the Burkinabè population has adopted a variety of adaptation strategies, including migration with the goal of finding alternative best conditions of life elsewhere. The current thesis determines the relationship between climate change, food insecurity and migration for the first time in the Nouna Health and Demographic Surveillance System which covers about 100,000 inhabitants in rural Burkina Faso. My central hypothesis is that an increase in both climate variability and food insecurity leads to a rising level of migration in rural Burkina Faso. To characterize climate variability in the Nouna Health and Demographic Surveillance System area, I used weather data from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration on Burkina Faso, and the Burkina National Meteorological Agency data, as well as De Longueville and Sivakumar indicators. In terms of analyses, I draw on quantitative methods most used in population health and epidemiology. Specifically, I proceeded in the following three steps. First, event history analysis methods were employed to compute rates and proportions of migration for the population in the Nouna Health and Demographic Surveillance System area in Burkina Faso. Second, Cox proportional-hazards models were used for counting data to identify the link between rainfall variation and emigration. Third, I used logistic regression models to determine the link between household food insecurity and emigration in the study area. I assessed heterogeneity in the relationship by socio-demographic factors. The study found that the Nouna Health and Demographic Surveillance System area is a very dynamic zone with regard to population movement with a general migration balance of -2.2 ‰ over the period of t…
