Abstract

This book is the outcome of a sociological study conducted by CIRMiB as part of the development cooperation project Vivre et reussir chez moi in Italy and Senegal between 2019 and 2022. The context of Senegal is addressed through an analysis of the country’s economic and socio-demographic situation as well as the socio-economic, development and education policies, with specific insights on the regions of Kaolack and Tambacounda and their local business systems. The Senegalese migration is presented through its causes and different forms (internal, international, circular, return). The role that the Senegalese diaspora plays through remittance flows replacing the welfare state is outlined by the evidence collected through interviews with Senegalese people living in Italy. A specific section is dedicated to the relationship between professional training and migration, that is explored through a quantitative survey conducted in the Kaolack and Tambacounda regions on young Senegalese people attending professional training in Senegal, their expectations for the future and possible plans to migrate. After highlighting a strong and widespread push to migrate in all social strata regardless of the professional skills acquired, the book provides a final set of recommendations for development policies in Senegal.
