Moving On show more. Review quote 'This well-written research-based text offers fascinating insights into the complexities of children's migrant experiences in West Africa. Based on ethnographic research in the rural sending communities as well as interviews at the migrant destinations, Hashim and Thorsen use in-depth empirical examples in order to place children's accounts at the centre of their analysis. A timely, comprehensive and engaging book which illuminates the diversity and challenges of understanding processes of children's migration.
And in Senegal, Ghana and Nigeria, more than a third say they actually plan to migrate in the next five years. Of those who plan to move, more individuals plan to move to the U. About , more sub-Saharan African migrants lived in Europe in 4. And an estimated 1. S in , an increase of about a , from , when an estimated 1. These populations are also sometimes referred to as migrant stocks. They constitute the balance of increases and decreases in the total accumulated population of sub-Saharan migrants for a specified time period.
Inflows, by contrast , in this report refer to the annual migration of people born in sub-Saharan Africa to Europe and the United States. Inflows can boost the total migrant stock if inflows to a region or country exceed the combined effects of deaths, outflows and return migration to countries of origin.
As a result, in some instances, differences in migrant stocks between two time points can be lower than inflows. This number removes application counts withdrawn by sub-Saharan Africans between and to account for the possible duplication of asylum seekers applying in multiple countries. But asylum applications are not the only way sub-Saharan migrants enter Europe. Some enter, for example, on family or work visas, or as resettled refugees or international students, so the total inflow is likely larger.

Some origin countries of these sub-Saharan migrant populations in the U. For example, between and , the total number of Somalian migrants in Europe increased by 80, people. Over the same period, the total population of Eritreans living in Europe climbed by about 40,, according to UN estimates.
Between February and April , Pew Research Center surveyed in six of the 10 countries that have supplied many of the sub-Saharan immigrants now living in the U. Four of these countries — Nigeria, Senegal, Ghana and Kenya — are also among the top 10 origin countries for sub-Saharan migrants to Europe. The survey asked respondents whether they would go to live in another country, if they had the means and opportunity. The relatively high shares of people in these countries who say they would resettle in another country is generally consistent with findings from other surveys, like Afrobarometer in Nigeria and Ghana , that pose questions about the desirability of migrating.

Compared with other world regions, Gallup polls find that sub-Saharan countries have some of the highest shares of people who say they would move to another country. Multiple factors could be at play. To begin with, while many sub-Saharan African economies are growing , many countries continue to have high unemployment rates and relatively low wage rates. In addition, the job market looks unlikely to improve anytime soon, thanks to high fertility levels that will mean even more people competing for jobs. Against this backdrop, sub-Saharan Africans could see migrating to countries with more — and better paying — jobs as a means of improving their personal economic prospects.
Political instability and conflict are other factors pushing sub-Saharan Africans to move.

For example, the number of sub-Saharans displaced within their own country nearly doubled to 9 million between and , according to United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees UNHCR estimates. Also, the total number of refugees from sub-Saharan countries living in other sub-Saharan countries grew about 2. At the same time, reports indicate that anywhere between , and a million sub-Saharan Africans are in Libya; some of them have been sold as slaves or are being held in jail-like facilities.
Pressures related to economic well-being and insecurity may help to explain why, beyond a general willingness to migrate, substantial shares of sub-Saharan Africans say they actually plan to move to another country in the next five years. Will all those with plans to migrate in fact leave their home countries in the next five years? If recent history is a guide, the answer would most likely be no.
But data from official sources suggest that this will not be for lack of effort.
Although the lottery only requires an online application and the completion of a high school diploma for eligibility, the high number of applicants underscores the seriousness with which many sub-Saharan Africans contemplate and actively pursue migrating abroad. But this does not necessarily mean Europe is the top choice of potential sub-Saharan African migrants. In fact, in several of the countries surveyed by Pew Research Center, those planning to migrate more often cited the U.
