Abstract EN

The research aims at analyzing the effect of rural-urban migration and remittances on farm income of rural households supported by a case study conducted in Southern Ethiopia.

Using two-step estimations to measure the effect of outmigration, migrant sending families have gained higher farm income.

In this regard, rural outmigration has been found to be a survival and income diversification strategy in the study area.
