dc.description.abstractThis paper examined the effect of rural-urban migration on assets accumulation among farming households in Kwara State, Nigeria. The objectives of the study were to describe the socio-economic characteristics of the farming households in the study area, examine the level of rural-urban migration and the effects of rural-urban migration on assets accumulation among farming households. Data obtained from 120 farming household heads were analyzed using descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis. The result showed that most of the farming household heads (73.3%) were men, with the majority (70.0%) of them been married. About three-quarters of the respondents (77.5%) claimed to have migrants within their household and the analysis showed that household farm size and number of migrants in the household had a statistically significant effect on asset accumulation in the study area. This study concluded that most of the migrants had migrated in search of employment and furtherance of their education, thus decimating an average farming household in terms of their youthful population. As a result of this finding, it is recommended that there should be an all-inclusive agricultural programme by the government that will engage these youths to discourage them from further unnecessary migration from their immediate communities.en_US
