摘要

移徙的概念过去一直是男性的现象，然而，随着女性在最近的移徙模式中逐渐占主导地位，情况发生了变化。利用全国调查数据，本文调查了加纳男性和女性内部迁移决策的决定因素。我们研究了气候因素与预期福利收益和社会经济因素一起解释男性和女性内部迁移决策的方式是否存在显著差异。我们发现男性和女性移民决策的决定因素存在一些差异，尽管这些决定受到预期福利收益、社会经济因素和气候条件的显著影响。我们观察到雌性对气候或环境因素的反应比雄性更强烈。此外，气候对男性和女性移民决策的影响会因预期的福利收益而加强。

Gender dimension of migration decisions in Ghana: the reinforcing role of anticipated welfare of climatic effect

The concept of migration has been a male phenomenon in time past, however, there has been a change in events as females are gradually gaining dominance in migration patterns in recent times. Using nationwide survey data this paper investigates the determinants of internal migration decisions for males and females in Ghana. We examined whether there is any significant differences in how climate elements together with anticipated welfare gains and socio-economic factors explain internal migration decision of males and females. We find some variations in the determinants of migration decisions for males and female, though these decisions are significantly affected by anticipated welfare gain, socio-economic factors and climate conditions. We observed that females respond more to climate or environmental elements than males. Moreover, the effect of climate on migration decisions for both males and females is reinforced by anticipated welfare gain.
