- Abstract
- The purpose of this working paper is to consider the images (true or false) of Senegalese migration found in the literature, the media and public discourse in the light of the quantitative data from the 2008 MAFE household and life history surveys. Primarily, it assesses the ways in which migration from Senegal has changed since 1975 by examining the behaviour of Senegalese migrants to France, Italy and Spain and those returning from those countries. The data are taken from the Senegal household survey and from the life history survey conducted on both sides of the Mediterranean, in France, Italy, Spain and Senegal. Although for convenience the migrants will be referred to as "Senegalese", it should be born in mind that the survey in Senegal was conducted solely in the Dakar region. The Dakar agglomeration is home to nearly a quarter of the country's total population and half its urban population, but migration from there may differ in some respects from migration from other parts of the country.
