| Abstract: | The objectives of this research is to explore the impact of parental migration as perceived by children left behind in Southern Wollo, Ethiopia |
| Description: | Despite the advantages of remittance from parental migration on poverty reductions, short-term economic growth, and the material well-being of children, a significant part of the story is omitted. This article explored the impact of parental migration as perceived by children left behind in Southern Wollo, Ethiopia, whose either one or both parents migrated abroad. Accordingly, data were qualitatively gathered from 13 children whose parents migrated from two woredas of the zone. The results of the study suggested that despite children’s awareness of the reasons for their parents’ migration they do not want them to migrate abroad leaving them behind. It was also found that left-behind children experienced isolation, longing, sadness, lack of motivation in schooling fas a result of their parents’ migration. The study recommends that to address the problem families, governmental and non-governmental organizations that have a stake in children’s lives shall play a role. |
