“…Rural-urban migration can also create technology diffusion at the household level. Using rural households' mobile phone usage as a proxy, Hübler (2016) reported a positive and significant correlation of mobile phone ownership within districts, suggesting rural technology diffusion across villages and households. He further concluded that education and remittances were associated with rural technology diffusion.…”

Purpose Previous studies have focused on migration and development from an economic perspective. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate sustainable migration and development in an integrative manner, including economic, social and environmental perspectives linking theoretical frameworks with empirical evidence in Thailand. Design/methodology/approach A framework of migration and sustainable development was developed in a structured and integrative manner, and the shift in migration and development patterns in Thailand was examined from an empirical and theoretical standpoint. Findings Migration contributes to Thailand’s economy in many ways. Migrant workers help to grow the economy, especially in labor-intensive sectors. This helps reduced income inequalities at the household level through remittances. Climate change will enhance migration, especially from neighboring countries and within Thailand itself, thus helping to reduce poverty and income inequality. Possible economic gains from migration, as well as circulating workers and international retirement migrants are highlighted. Research limitations/implications Only studies published in English or Thai were included, which may have resulted in the omission of some research. A need for rethinking policy design and implementation as a source of sustainable development is required. Originality/value Despite the recent influences of political and environmental changes, there has previously been no analysis of migration and sustainable development in Thailand in a structured and integrative manner as in this study. The impact of migration on the diffusion of new technology and brain drain issues was also addressed.

“…Moreover, these findings are supported and complemented by other studies based on the African context, which find that political accountability and participation, as well as electoral competitiveness, are improved through the transfer of political norms emitted by migrants, both during their stay in the host country and upon their return (Batista et al, 2019;Batista & Vicente, 2011;Chauvet & Mercier, 2014). In addition to affecting institutional quality in origin countries, social remittances can be used as a means of skills, knowledge, and technology diffusion, which could subsequently contribute to economic growth in developing countries (Hübler, 2016;Rapoport, 2018).…”

“…Investigating the processes and character of the impact of migration on economic development, the focus is mostly on the consequences manifested in the form of internal and international investment processes [7], foreign direct investment, which serves as factors for enhancing economic growth and ensuring the increase in national income, including value-added [12], GDP dynamics [15] and its longterm stability [45], strengthening the country's financial system in general [28] and improving the capabilities of its monetary sphere in particular [24]. At the same time, the influence of migration processes on narrower aspects of economic development [31], including those related to innovation and technological activity, especially in less technological economies [22], links between the R&D and manufacturing [26], small business development [37], is no less relevant, socialization of economic relations [40], de-shadowing of the economy, especially small and medium-sized businesses [44]. According to the research results, when modeling the links between the parameters of migration and economic growth, of particular relevance, in particular in terms of regulating the development of the internal market, import substitution, etc., considers the changes in the openness of trade [16], foreign trade, including in terms of foreign economic and food security [34], stabilization of the processes of functioning of the internal market [14], intensification of foreign trade relations [20; 38].…”

The article presents an econometric analysis of the impact and elasticity of human resources outflow and remittance with economic growth in Ukraine. It is proved that remittance (1) has a direct relationship with economic activity rate, (2) a cyclical and multiplicative relationship with the inflationary process, and (3) an indirect effect on capital investment. It has been established that migration favorably affects the financial well-being of households and is an effective measure for accumulating investment capital and savings. The trigger for economic growth in the vector of ‘migration – remittance’ is the development of the migration capital market by increasing the investment capacity of remittance’, ensuring the target remittance orientation to the small and medium-sized business sector, guaranteeing market stability (security of remittance) and developing financial inclusion.
