Emigration and development in Southern Africa, with special reference to Lesotho.
"The introduction defines development and describes the scope of the paper.  Section two briefly describes the historical evolution of [labor] migration in southern Africa, the ambiguities of data, and recent quantitative trends.  Section three discusses alternative theoretical perspectives.  Section four examines the case of Lesotho as an extreme example of a sending country and provides occasional allusions to other southern African sending countries.  Section five concludes that the most important effect of [labor] migration on development in southern Africa has been to trade short run income benefits for long run development difficulties."
