Abstract
Lacks of job opportunities and uncontrolled growth of labor force in a country is a main cause for international migration. This essay discusses the relations between development and the waves of migration, and, in reverse, the impacts of migration to development. The writer uses the neo-classical approach, which argues that the mass migration wave will bring a positive effect to the country of origin for its economic development. In addition to this, the writer compared it with the historical structuralist approach, which claims that international migration has a negative effect to the country of origin due to the movement of people in large numbers. The writer underlines that national development which is expected to promote people welfare was not yet able to improve standard of living. Population growth which is higher than economic growth, together with Jack of job opportunities, pushed people to make international migration. Through its remittances, migration is seen as a strategy for development, but it will reduce the availability of labor force for development in the country of origins.
