ABSTRACT

Migration is one of the important variables that affect development. Given a world organized into mutually exclusive national communities that views themselves as family-like bodies with a common ancestry and destiny, Inter-relocation is but a change of jurisdiction from one sovereign state to another; and should not be permanent. Both aspects of the process, emigration and immigration, therefore elicit considerable public concern and provoke political contention within and between between countries. Yet transnational human flows have received much less attention from analysts of international affairs than have trade or strategies interactions. This paper seeks to address these inadequacies. The paper starts by clarifying the major concepts in a thematic form. It goes on to use dependency framework to x-ray linkages, factors that induce migration among races and their impact. The paper concludes by positing that in the process of migration, the underdeveloped societies of the third world are the losers because of the exodus of their manpower.
