MIGRANT LABOR, DEVELOPMENT, AND HIV IN BOTSWANA

Date Issued:: 2014
Abstract/Description:: At independence, Botswana was highly underdeveloped and reliant on external capital earned through migrant labor. This presented several challenges to development despite the discovery of diamonds shortly after independence. However, no challenge was greater than the HIV epidemic which came to infect one in four Batswana. This thesis discusses the historical factors which promoted the spread of the virus in the greater context of migrant labor and development within Botswana.
