Kameir, E M (1980) Migrant workers in an urban situation: a comparative study of factory workers and building sites labourers in Khartoum (Sudan). PhD thesis, University of Hull, UK.
Abstract
No abstract in thesis. Extract from introduction: This is a study of migrant workers in two different wage-earning, urban situations. It deals with a number of problems in the field of urban and industrial sociology which have by now long been centred in African social anthropological and sociological literature, as well as in other parts of the Third World, particularly in Latin America. The main purpose of the thesis is to conduct a comparative analysis of migrant behaviour in two very different kinds of industrial situations. I first studied workers in two fairly similar establishments, the Blue Nile Brewery and the Modern Company for the Production and Distribution of Matches. After that, I turned my attention for comparison to manual workers on building sites under the control of private entrepreneurs. The brewery and the match factory are located in the industrial area of the town of Khartoum North, and the building sites I studied are mainly in Khartoum itself.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
