Researchers and scholars inthejield have substantively asserted that economic factor is thernmain cause for labor migration. Eventhough this is an undebatable and is the central causernof migration, the contribution of social pressures for migration was not given due emphasisrnin dif/erentfields of study and research. It was assumed that diverse social influences couldrnaccountfor the migration of Ethiopian women labor to the Middle East.rnThe primwy concern of this study was therefore to asses the perceived causes, socialrninfluence and level o./readiness 0/ Ethiopian women labor Emigrants to the Middle East.rnTo this end, descriptive survey method was employed. The data was gathered Fom 312rnemigrants facilita ting their process of migration at MOLSA and legal private employmentrnagents. In order to select the required sample, availability and simple random samplingrntechniques were utilized. Questionnaire and focus group discussions were the principal datarngathering instruments. The data was analyzed by the help of percentage, weighted meanrnscore, one sample t- test, one way ANOVA and Sche./Je 's post hoc comparison.rnThe investigation has shown that it was difficult to tell the attitudes of the emigrants towardsrnthe job to be pelformed, the culture, employers, language and to do in Middle East.rnHowever, observation at each factors of altitude indicated that they have unfavorablernpredisposition towards essential altitude objects. On the other hand, Emigrants have nornadequate knowledge and were not ready with respect to language of communication atrndestination country. This will create communication barrier with the employer and have anrnadverse e./Ject for the overall adjustment of the Emigrant and in promoting safe migratiOn.rnTheir skill for the work to be pelformed and Iheir readiness with respect 10 the values andrnnorms of religion, dressing style and eating cultural food were found to be poor. But theyrnknow the difficulty level of the job and abused Ethiopian returnees. All these indicated thernpresence of some inducement Fom the society for their migration.rnEmigrants have ample and diverse information both at destination and counlly of origin.rnFamily, kin group and Fiends both al origin and destination countly and legal agents Fomrncountry of origin are their main source of information. This shows that they have jirm socialrnnefl.vork established at sending and receiving country. They have also different friends,rnfamilies and relatives living in Middle East and have established channel by the help ofrndifferent media of communication. Therefore, it is possible to draw that diverse socialrnnetwork subject the Emigrants to someform of social influence. trnAs indicated above, jindings have displayed the possible presence of social influence forrnEthiopian women migration. As per the endeavor made to detect the form of social influence,rnobedience-a change of behavior due to the direct commands 0/ others, did not take arnsignificant role for migration. However, the presence of compliance - e./Jort to get others tornsay yes to various request and conformity- yielding to group pressure to act as everyone elserndoes, even when no direct request has been made, are the major identified forms of socialrninfluence for their migration. Hence, in addition tocon/ormity, the provocation, initiationrnand convincing o./the society have a remarkable contribution for the migration of Ethiopianrnwomen labor Emigrants to the Middle East.rnReligion and educational status are variables that have sholln a significant mean differencernacross the majority ofilie identified dependcnt l'CIriablcs.
