Abstract
Most studies about migration are concerned with long-term or permanent rural to urban mobility. In contrast, this volume illustrates the dynamics behind the much more common movement made by poor people in south and south-east Asia and Africa: migration for short-term employment often in rural areas. It comprises seven pieces of detailed empirical work drawn from the resent research from the contributors.
