Enumerator at Innovations for Poverty Action (IPA)

Description

• Globally, irregular migration and human trafficking have reached crisis proportions in fragile and conflict-affected states. In Nigeria, the combination of ongoing, low-intensity conflict, a large youth population, and limited economic opportunities has led to high levels of irregular migrants seeking to make the dangerous journey to Europe.
• There is little evidence on how individuals weigh the risks and benefits of migration, and how information campaigns influence migration decisions.
