The following is my doctorate level research proposal

Title: “The Effects of Migration on Nigerian Children Who Migrated with their Parents to the United Kingdom: An In-depth Qualitative Analysis.”

Aims:
This research aims to explore the effects of migration on Nigerian children who migrated with their parents to the United Kingdom. The study will specifically investigate the social, economic, and psychological impacts of migration on the children.
Research Questions
The research questions that this thesis aims to answer are as follows:
1. What are the impacts of migration to the UK on Nigerians/sub-Saharan Africa.
2. How do people overcome the challenges posed by migration?
(because we don’t know how much literature is available that focuses on Nigeria).
3. How does gender influence the challenges Nigerian migrants face in the UK?

Methodology
The research methodology is grounded in established research practices and has been used in previous studies on the economic impacts of parental migration on children. This study will use an in-depth qualitative approach to explore the impacts of migration on Nigerian children who migrated with their parents to the United Kingdom. The sample will consist of Nigerian families who migrated to the United Kingdom in the last five years with children between the ages of 6 and 18 years old. Data will be collected through semi-structured interviews with parents and children. The interviews will be audio-recorded, transcribed, and analyzed thematically

Now, generate the “Data Analysis” section of the methodology, ensuring it includes all necessary details and worthy of post-doctoral honours. Also, ensure to use proper Harvard style of in-text citations everywhere appropriate, using only the most recent out of the most appropriate references. Ensure your response is original and is in the best possible way.

In doing the above,
Be selective.
Be clear and concise. It should be easy to read and understand.
Be specific. Provide as much detail as possible about your research methods.
Be objective. Avoid bias in your writing.
