Matthew Ikechukwu Obijekwu, PhD Romanus Ikechukwu Muomah JohnPaul Chinedu Enemuo
Abstract

The issue of migration has been a paramount issue in relation to the Third World development. The question is; why do people migrate? What is the force behind migration? The above questions serve as the basis of this paper. Utilizing analytic approach, we shall examine the interconnection between migration (internal and international migration), the search for economic well-being and the Third World development. We shall also find out whether migration has actually assisted or contributed in the development of the Third World or hindered it. It is obvious to say that migration is the double-edged sword as far as the Third World (developing or underdeveloped world) is concerned.
