TECHNOLOGY DRIVEN GROWTH, MIGRATION AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

In destination nations, especially high-income nations, highly skilled migrants make significant contributions to technology innovation, research, and development.For migrants and their communities, migration serves as a powerful engine for sustainable development, according to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. By transferring knowledge and resources, it improves the lives of populations back in their home countries, bringing considerable advantages in the form of skills, a stronger labour force, investments, and cultural variety. While some of these technologies are problematic for immigrant rights, others, like block chain, might have more useful uses. Every facet of migration is impacted by technology, especially the digital connectivity provided by mobile phones. For example, technology makes it easier for migrants to send money home and stay in touch with their relatives through facilitating remittances. Research and development (R&D) activity in destination nations is significantly influenced by Migrants and Diasporas, particularly highly skilled individuals. The paper will address SDGs and the realisation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development by examining the technology-migration nexus. This will show that immigrants are essential for technical transformation and innovation processes in both origin and destination nations. Additionally, relying on technology and technical advancements is essential to both the migration process and efforts made by the government to control or restrict migration. Also it will be analysed that an essential conduit for exporting technology from destination countries back to home countries is diasporas and migrant communities.
