a-d: Village dependencies, migration for marriage, work and education.
Figure (a) plots village social, economic and political dependencies. Source: Community Survey (S4 Dataset) in 91 villages in Eastern Sierra Leone in Malema, Makpele, Nomo, Gaura, Tunkia, Koya and Barri Chiefdoms. Map plots the village dependencies as indicated in a community focus group meeting with arrows going to the location the village depends on socially, economically and politically. Figure (b)-(d) use Household Survey (S5 Dataset) under 2460 respondents in 187 villages. Figure plots the migration patterns (origin and destination) for six randomly selected villages for household members who left the household for marriage, work or education during 2000–2010. In total we recorded data on 4208 migration decisions. Of these, 20% are for marriage, 36% are for attending school and 17% to work elsewhere. Work migration is for trading, mining, labourer for cash crop production and urbanisation. Location of Kenema is approximate.
