John O Oucho

Top

Abstract

John O. Oucho presents the interrelated patterns of development and internal migration patterns and trends, hypothesizing their relationship in Kenya. Much of human activity is limited to the wetter, densely settled parts, the drier parts occupied by forests and national parks or game reserves. In the past four decades, three provinces have been net in-migration regions, the remaining five, net out-migration areas, consistently influencing and being influenced by regional development status.

Keywords:

Kenya, region/province, internal migration, lifetime migration, regional development, interrelations
