This work takes a closer look at the different causes for both migration and immigration in the municipality of Wenchi.
Migration is one of the aspects of human existence that is keen to the designing of policies and programmes of development of any given country. The main aim of the study is to examine the causes of in-migration in the Wenchi municipality, the socio-economic conditions of migrants, the benefits and side effects of migration in Wenchi and to bring out suggestions and recommendation on the management of migration in the municipality. In order to attain a reliable research, both the qualitative and the quantitative research methods are employed. The qualitative method is used to survey the entire municipality to determine the possible causes of migration and migrants’ livelihood. The quantitative method is used to collect in-depth information about the problems at hand. The data is from both primary and secondary sources. The primary source entails self-administered questionnaires, while the secondary source is from articles, publications and projects in relation to the research topic.
The study reveals that most migrants come to Wenchi for educational purposes. It also brings out that most migrants have good access to some basic facilities such as access to portable drinking water and a good access to electricity. In order to ensure that natives get access to good work doing, the stake holders of the town should try to introduce some youth empowerment programmes in the town so as to bridge the gap between natives and migrants.
