Abstract

One of the main links between the countries of Southern Africa has been the movement of labour. Until recently this involved large numbers of workers moving all over the sub-continent, but today most migrants travel to South Africa. This chapter traces the pattern of migration and identifies it as an area in which changes are likely to occur in the next few years.
