本文是对马克·柯林森博士论文的评论，题为《与逆境作斗争：南非农村的移民、健康和贫困的动态》。调查结果显示，在南非农村，临时移民对家庭福祉和健康有重大影响。移民汇款对移民留守家庭的社会经济地位(SES)有很大影响。对于最贫穷的家庭来说，改善社会保障体系的关键因素是政府赠款和女性临时移民，而对于不太贫穷的家庭来说，改善社会经济状况的关键因素是男性临时移民和当地就业。移民与艾滋病毒有关，但不是以直接的方式。更频繁返回的移民可能较少接触外部伙伴，因此较少卷入艾滋病毒流行。移民和死亡模式之间存在联系，包括回返移民的死亡风险比永久居民更高。母亲的移徙对南非和前难民父母的子女生存有重大影响，但莫桑比克前难民的子女有额外的死亡风险。建议在收集关于家庭成员的信息时，国家普查和调查应考虑到临时移徙，因为不同的移徙类型有不同的结果。如果不对不同的移徙类型进行区分，政策制定者将仍然无法理解对发送和接收社区的影响。
This article is a review of the PhD thesis of Mark Collinson, titled, ‘Striving against adversity: the dynamics of migration, health and poverty in rural South Africa’. The findings show that in rural South Africa, temporary migration has a major impact on household well-being and health. Remittances from migrants make a significant difference to socioeconomic status (SES) in households left behind by the migrant. For the poorest households the key factors improving SES are government grants and female temporary migration, while for the less poor it is male temporary migration and local employment. Migration is associated with HIV but not in straightforward ways. Migrants that return more frequently may be less exposed to outside partners and therefore less implicated in the HIV epidemic. There are links between migration and mortality patterns, including a higher risk of dying for returnee migrants compared with permanent residents. A mother's migration impacts significantly on child survival for South African and former refugee parents, but there is an additional mortality risk for children of Mozambican former refugees. It is recommended that national censuses and surveys account for temporary migration when collecting information on household membership, because different migration types have different outcomes. Without discriminating between different migration types, the implications for sending and receiving communities will remain lost to policy-makers.
