Abstract: The demo-economic situation of Mozambique and the region?s post-apartheid liberalization led to restructuring of the former?s rural economy. Based on an in-depth empirical case study implemented in the locality of Leonzoane in southern Mozambique, the paper details these changes which appear particularly in the evolution of rural household?s strategies towards more complex livelihoods with an increased significance of labour migration. These observations question the foundations of the Mozambican poverty reduction strategy and rural development policy (PRSP 2011-2014) and call for an integrated approach which takes better account of the migration and rural employment dimensions.
