Uyi Benjamin Edegbe in discussion with Julia Tischler: Transnational Migrants Remittances and Social Development in Benin City, Nigeria

ALMA Research Series

What are the effects of money transfers from transnational migrants to their countries of origin? Uyi Benjamin Edegbe (Sociology, University of Freiburg) uses his empirical research to show that remittances have positive effects on the general well-being of the migrants' household members in Benin City, Southern Nigeria. In his lecture he will present his study and its results.

In 2016, the Arnold Bergstraesser Institute (ABI) has launched the ALMA research series in cooperation with Freiburg University. The research series aims at interconnecting research interests from different parts of the university and affiliated institutes. ALMA places particular emphasis on interdisciplinarity: a feature that is also evident in the discussion format, which includes presenters and discussants from different disciplinary backgrounds. The overall focus lies on empirical-comparative analyses of socio-political phenomena in extra-European areas and societies. The main target group of the ALMA series includes social sciences and humanities scholars that are currently pursuing a PhD and/or pursuing advanced/postdoctoral research projects. The ALMA Research Series thus benefits from exchange and discussion among many.
