Summary: “This paper explores the role of migration as a poverty reduction strategy for rural households. More than a fifth of the rural households in the data have had at least one member that has migrated in the year prior to the survey, either internally or abroad. In addition, migration is used less as an ex-post response to risks and shocks and more as a vital part of household’ limited ex-ant risk management strategies. With widespread poverty in rural Afghanistan, deep market failures and scarce income generating opportunities, migration remains a key risk management and income diversification instrument for rural households”—(p. 18).
