Summary note
"This study seeks to establish how the individual migrant uses mobility to negotiate the economic landscape. Substantiated through a case study of Rusape, Zimbabwe, this study suggests that lower living costs, higher food security and a more accessible labour market may be attracting migrants from higher level urban centres."--Jacket.
