| description | The Economic Consequences of Internal Displacement in Zimbabwe
Background: Internal displacement occupies a central place among population
displacements especially in Africa where Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) have
outnumbered refugees, hence, the term Africa’s new dilemma. Africa has also become a host
to two-thirds of the world's IDPs. With the increasing demand for minerals, mining-induced
displacement has taken a centre stage among development projects. Despite the increasing
trend in the number of IDPs, few studies have focused particularly on economic
consequences of mining-induced internal displacement, yet mining-induced displacements
cannot be ruled out given the ongoing explorations and increasing demand for minerals as a
result of population growth. Furthermore, there is scant literature on economic activities and
satisfaction with life among displacees. IDPs have, therefore, remained the forgotten group,
both in literature and in policy issues. To contribute to the literature, the thesis explored the
economic consequences of mining-induced displacement, determinants of the choice of
economic activities and determinants of satisfaction with life among IDPs in Arda Transau,
Zimbabwe. |
