Impact of migration on fertility and abortion: evidence from the household and welfare study of Accra.
The researchers used detailed pregnancy and migration histories collected as part of the Household and Welfare Study of Accra (HAWS) to examine the association between migration and pregnancy outcomes among women residing in the urban slums of Accra, Ghana. They found that the completed fertility patterns of lifetime Accra residents are remarkably similar to those of residents who migrated.
