MIGNEX Case Study Brief TUN2 - Migration and development dynamics in Redeyef, Tunisia
Authors/Creators

Description
Redeyef is a marginalised mining town; decades of job cuts and corruption have made local people feel resentful and pessimistic about future livelihood prospects. Migration is seen as a beacon of hope, though the risks and costs can be high.
Key Takeaways
- Most people in Redeyef (77%) have family, relatives or friends but only a third of these households receive remittances.
- Most young adults would legally migrate abroad if given the chance, but with regular migration pathways becoming less available, unfulfilled migration aspirations remain high.
- Irregular migration journeys have become more common, despite the risks. Half of young adults know someone who was deported or forcibly returned to Tunisia.
