While embarking their research in rural-urban migration, researchers assume that rural outrnmigrants move with the aim of involving in productive sector or getting better socialrnamenities. However, the issue of migrants, who are involved in unproductive sectors such asrnbegging, is overstated. I have developed curiosity to undertake the research after observingrnmany peasants begging in Addis Ababa. I have emphasized on the beggars coming fromrnTigray with the intension of getting rapport. The research method is dominantly based onrnqualitative analysis, where the idea, perception and view of many stakeholders is wiselyrnexplored. Different instruments such as in-depth interview (with 25 migrant beggars, whornwere found through snowball sampling), focused group discussion (with returnee beggars,rnnon-migrants, elders, model farmers and migrants' family), observation, and key informantrninterview (with Tabia, wereda and regional officials) are widely employed. The datarngenerated from these entities were triangulated and analyzed in descriptive form. The majorrncauses for the out migration of peasants from Samre woreda were mainly resulted due tornpush factors such as landlessness, small land holding, and credit overdue. Moreover, thernsocial network in Addis Ababa along with the existing channel of information has alsornexpedited migration. The migrants are involved in begging at the expense of psychologicalrnpressures (costs), just to solve their immediate problems and diversify income portfolio. Theyrnhave collected meager amount of money, which they invested in agricultural inputs, payingrncredits, and buying consumption goods and clothes. The expectation and the actual earningrnof migrants are incomparable. The results indicate that the existing trend of migration hasrnforced young student to dropout their education and exposed to the life of streets.rnFurthermore, it is creating suspicion among the rural inhabitants at the place of origin inrnthat returnee migrants can disseminate communicable diseases such as HIVIAlDS,rnTuberculosis, and Typhoid. The people have explained their reservation on the religiousrnservices given by the returnee clergymen and Dicons. Moreover, there is a growing concernrnthat the migrants may return with new doctrine and beliefs, which progressively may erodernthe legend religions in the area. Finally yet importantly, the new generation is inheriting thernculture of begging.
