Abstract

This article examines the impact of migration on society, both how it is measured and analysed. Migration was the most critical force driving India's otherwise idyllic progress in the twentieth  century. Researchers found that skilled emigration is rising in developing countries and that rich  countries are increasingly turning to foreign workers with advanced training to fuel domestic  innovation. This study discusses migration and skill development and social, economic, and  technological innovation in depth. In this case, the research is descriptive. The information was  gathered through secondary sources such as journals and books.
