Although gender was not a variable of interest in this study, during the process of conducting this research, it was observed that households that had female migrants seemed to be performing better than those with male migrants. There are many conspiracy theories that are mushrooming in an attempt to explain this phenomenon. The community suggests that perhaps employers in South Africa preferred to employ women or maybe there are more jobs that require women than those that require men. Others suggest that perhaps there are other things only known to the
126
female migrants that could explain their successes as compared to their male counterparts.
Therefore, I recommend that future research should focus on the gender dynamics on migration as well as the use of migrant remittances to create sustainable livelihoods. Conducting a research would assist in demystifying this matter and ensure that empirical evidence is gathered with regards to the gender dynamics in migration and remittance use.
6.5 Summary.
This study was conducted in the rural district of Tsholotsho in Matabeleland North Province of Zimbabwe. The study sought to examine the developmental role of migrant worker remittances within the district of Tsholotsho. In doing so, the study looked at the role played by migrant remittances in the creation of livelihoods as well as the sustainability of the livelihoods thereof.
In addition, the study investigated the availability of the skills and opportunities that are a prerequisite for investment as well as the extent of the multiplier effect of migrant remittances within the rural district of Tsholotsho. This study only focused on migrant remittances sent by migrants from Tsholotsho who work in South Africa. The first chapter gave a general introduction and background of the study. In addition, the chapter outlined the research questions as well as the aims and objectives of the study. The second chapter gave a review of empirical literature in the migration-development nexus in line with the research questions of the study.
The third chapter gave a review of theoretical literature in migration-development interactions, with a special focus on the theoretical framework of this study which was an integration of the New Economics for Labour Migration (NELM) as well as the Sustainable livelihoods Approach (SLA). The fourth chapter gave an outline of the research methodology and design of this study.
The study adopted a mixed methods approach which was argued for and justified in this chapter.
The fifth chapter presented the findings and discussions of this study. Finally, chapter six
127
presented the conclusions and recommendations of this study in relation to the research questions in order to clearly put forward the outcomes of this study.
