In recent decades, the global south has witnessed an explosive increase in the number of people relocating from rural to urban areas.

This project posits that a key explanation for these difficulties lies in unequal political representation. The findings of the project inform policy makers about how to improve the welfare of internal migrants, who count among the world's most marginalised population groups.
