Hopelessness and indignity are not captured by standard measures of poverty. This study of the perilous trans-Saharan labor migration from southwestern Niger provides a deeper understanding of the experiences that drive young men to take this significant risk – to their mental and physical health. Within the 10 communities where trans-Saharan migration began, 331 household interviews, 66 returned immigrant interviews and 100 interviews of youth were conducted to understand the motivations of migrants and the material conditions faced at home. The research illuminates the deeply human motivations that drive these decisions including desires for greater autonomy, equitable politics, and productive work. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
