| dc.description.abstract | One of the key drivers of youth migration of inequitable distribution of land which denies them access to work
environment. Youths hold limited small land sizes even when they migrate and this limits there involvement in
agriculture. Majority of the rural youths have low education levels and professional skills which hindered their
ability to access decent jobs. The results of the hypothesis test revealed that there is relationship
between the ages of migrants and their reasons for migration to the cities while migrant’s
marital status was not significantly related to their reasons for migrating motives. This study
recommends that the government and non-governmental organizations should endeavour to
establish skill acquisition in the devolved counties in Kenya centres in the rural areas to stem
the rate of rural-urban migration. | en_US |
