| Abstract | PIP: Trends in rural out-migration from two provinces of Cameroon are analyzed and compared. Data are from the 1976 census and a 1983 survey. The results show a far higher rate of out-migration from the relatively prosperous West province than from the economically poorer Far-North province. Reasons for this apparent contradiction are sought in the characteristics of the migration from the provinces concerned and in their previous migration histories. |
