| Abstract: | Movement across boundaries, both internally and externally, has become a truly global phenomenon. Migration is not a recent phenomenon; it has existed in some form or another throughout the history of humanity. The objective of the study was to examine the effect of rural-urban migration on labour in the fishing industry in keta Municipality. The study used a mixed-methods approach as its research strategy. Mixed method research approach was adopted for the study. The population of this study comprised out-migrant fishing household heads, chief fishermen, and fishmongers in the study region were therefore the main focus because they had a thorough understanding of the objectives of the research. A self-selection sampling strategy was used to choose 255 out-migrant fishing households for the sample size. Data for the study were gathered using questionnaires, semi-structured questionnaires, interviewing protocols, and focus group discussions. Thematic analysis was used to examine the qualitative data, while SPSS version 20 was used to evaluate the quantitative data. 56 percent of respondents agreed with the NELM and push-pull perspective of migration that suggested that before choosing a household member to migrate, individuals and household heads weigh the costs and benefits of the conditions at the destination and the origin. This finding is consistent with the findings of the survey and supports the idea put forth by NELM and the push-pull perspective. The study found out that, the rural-urban migration in the Keta Municipality especially in the study region was initiated by the push-pull factors which support the neoclassical theory of migration. It was also identified that, to maximize income and diversify livelihood strategies, the young people in the study area migrates to urban areas and nearby nations to enhance their standard of living which also confirms the postulations of NELM theory. The findings again confirm that, outmigration has effects on fish production as well as labour in the study area. It is recommended that fishermen and women should be given some financial support from Government, NGO’s, Fishery Commission and other donor agencies to help expand and strengthen their fishing operations. Again, providing formal and informal educational facilities and fishing inputs as subsidies can help the local fishing industry get a better understanding of its own industry. It is also recommended that, the Volta Basin Research Project (VBRP), the Ministry of Fisheries, the Fisheries Department (FD), and the government should all share responsibility for finding answers to the difficulties that the fishing community is currently experiencing. |
