| dc.description.abstract | Malawi, like several developing countries is
faced with the problem cf having a few major towns
to which many people flock from allover the countryside
in search of employment. Most of the migrants to
towns are from the productive age group so that the
countryside is all the time losing resourceful manpower
which is needed for its own development. This
wholesale drain of manpower is normally more than what
the towns can accommodate in terms of employment and
social services. The result is, that the towns turn
into 'hot-spots' of 'do or die' due to high level of
unemployment, strain on social services and
consequential social problems. In other words towns
suffer from an imbalance of population, jobs and services. | en |
