| dc.description.abstract | Today, irregular migration has become a global concern affecting several countries and lives of many households. Accordingly, irregular migration has attracted much attention of researchers, policy makers, politicians and academicians. The aim of this study is to investigate drivers of irregular out-migration from Waja-Raya to Saudi Arabia, and its implications for local development. To achieve this, mixed methods research approach were employed. From 1000 households, 277 households were selected to collect primary data. Qualitative data was gathered through key informant interviews and focus group discussions. Quantitative data were collected and analyzed to triangulate the qualitative data in descriptive forms. The findings of the study revealed that the drivers of irregular migration are diverse. Unemployment, culture of migration, political oppression and restrictive migration laws are some of the drivers. Moreover, the study found out that irregular migration has positive and negative implications for local development. The impacts of irregular migration are more detrimental. Therefore, the local government has to relentlessly endeavor to curb irregular migration. The study recommends that the local government has to create opportunities to make migrants stay. Besides, to maximize the development role of migration special attention need to be given to regular migrants by establishing local institutions such as Institution for Saudi Diaspora. | en_US |
