    International Migration and the Living Standard of People of Edo, Nigeria
    (Pakistan Journal of Life and Social Sciences 22(2), 2024) Braimah Ehiagwina Sunday; Gberevbie Daniel Eseme; Chidozie Felix C.; Osimen Goddy Uwa
    This study evaluates the effect of international migration on the living standard of the Bini people of Edo State, Nigeria. Using a convenience sampling technique, a total of 401 respondents were selected from the seven (7) local government areas that constitute the Edo South senatorial district, where the Bini people are located. The study adopted a survey research design, using qualitative and quantitative data collection and analysis methods. Structured questionnaires and focused group interviews served as the research instruments. Data were analysed using thematic and regression analysis. Linear regression was engaged with the aid of IBM SPSS Statistics V21.0, using themes relevant to the research. It finds that remittances from migration have improved the living standard of the Bini people and recommends that policies be made and directed at remittance-receiving households to improve the utilisation of remittances for the greater benefit of the people and State.
