    Mapping causal relationships between migration and economic growth: A visual and empirical approach
    (Elsevier Ltd, 2025-09-19) Azmi, Y; Landersz, S; Dissanayake, P; Chloe, L; Jayathilaka, R
    The focus of this study is to identify whether causal relationships exist between migration and economic growth across countries in the Asian continent. Real GDP per capita and net migration per capita were used to measure economic growth and net migration, respectively. A dataset comprising panel data from 1994 to 2023, covering 41 countries, was utilised. The Bootstrap Dumitrescu and Hurlin Granger non-causality test was conducted for a continental analysis of Asia. Further, the Granger causality Wald test was undertaken for in-depth country-level analysis. The empirical results indicate a unidirectional causality in Asian continent, and Eastern, and Western Asian sub reigns while other sub reigns indicated no causality. Additionally, while majority of the countries indicated no causality, seven countries namely, Saudi Arabia, Turkmenistan, Viet Nam, Sri Lanka, Macao SAR China, Malaysia and Rep. Korea indicated unidirectional causalities. Based on these findings, implications were made for policymakers when developing economic policies that leverage the economic potential of net migration.

    The Socioeconomic Consequences of Brain Drain and Migration in Sri Lanka: A Comprehensive Literature Analysis
    (SLIIT Business School, 2023-12-14) Maussawa, G; Wijerathne, C; Gunasekara, J; Wickramarachchi, C; Thelijjagoda, S
    Over the years brain drain has given risen to a lasting imprint on the economy of Sri Lanka, which has resulted variouse consequenses. Currently educated professionals from various sectors are migrating to developed countries at an increasing rate. This study aims to provide a comprehensive understanding on the factors influence skill migration in Sri Lanka. This study utilizes a comprehensive systematic review of past literature over the period of 22 years (2000- 2022). The findings of this study demonstrate that migration of skilled professionals has been increased up to 2022 and how social, economic, and political factors affected migration. Some identified examples for economic factors that influence skill migration are better working opportunites, higher wages and higher living standards. Some identified social factors are political violence and better facilities like health and educational services. Increasing income tax rate and loss of liberty are some recgonized political factors that affect skill migration. Some of the studies have argued that there are positive concequences of skill migration in Sri Lanka, while some other studies have brought up arguments that negative impacts of skill migration take over the positive impacts.

    Exploring the Determinants of Migration Intention of IT Professionals: Evidence from Sri Lanka
    (SLIIT Business School, 2023-12-14) Rathnayake, U; Jithmini, T; Amarasinghe, T; Alahakoon, S; Dunuwila, V
    International IT professional migration occurs beyond national lines because of globalization and internationalism, with the goals of information sharing, obtaining higher living standards, as well as for economic reasons. This study aims to explore the factors influencing to the outflow migration of IT professionals in Sri Lanka. This study is the first of its kind in Sri Lanka during the time when the country was dealing with the COVID-19 outbreak and the economic crisis since it rests its originality on information acquired from the local arena. Higher migration rates is a significant concern to Sri Lanka, since second-largest export revenue generating industry is the IT sector. Researchers examined the connections between different factors' effects on migration intention. These studies illustrate some variation in worldwide migration intention factors and trends. They concluded that while the migratory intentions of some countries and identified variables are positively connected, others are negatively connected. Thematic analysis leading to a factor analysis were used in this study to collect data from Sri Lankans. Researchers have conducted interviews for this specific research objective which were followed by a questionnaire using mixed methods. In the results, rotated component analysis, which includes information about the relationships between each variable and the estimated components, is one of the most important outcomes of principle component analysis. As the conclusion, certain policies could encourage innovation, growth, and long-term economic development in Sri Lanka’s IT sector.

    Policies based container migration using cross-cloud management platform
    (IEEE, 2018-12-21) Janarthanan, K; Peramune, P. R. L. C; Ranaweera, A. T; Krishnamohan, T; Rupasinghe, L; Sampath, K. K; Liyanapathirana, C
    Over the last decade, cloud computing has helped in variety of ways to humanity. Mainly in the ways of, achieving Disaster Recovery (DR) and in protecting the end users' data and Anywhere, Any device, Anytime access to the users' data. This research further helps people and organization to overcome common problems related to clouds such as, vendor-lock in and legal regulation. In today's world, more and more organizations are adopting the cloud services mainly because of the reliability and affordability provided by them. However, there are several drawbacks faced by the cloud users and cloud service providers. Apart from the security perspective, the cloud users are facing challenges in control and visibility, lack of standard service interfaces, difficulty in deploying applications across multiple clouds and vendor lock-in. Also, cloud service providers are facing challenges in degradation of the quality of service provided because of the distance between cloud data center and the end user and unexpected interruption of services etc. The above problems can be reduced to a greater extent or mitigated by adopting Multi Cross Cloud Infrastructure. This benefits the cloud users to receive the best quality services to increase their productivity. Hence, the main aim of this research is to build a common platform to manage the cross-cloud environment particularly Microsoft AZURE cloud and Amazon Web Services (AWS) with multiple features such as policies based container migration among the clouds and finding the best virtual machines (VM) across the clouds to deploy new containers. Cross-cloud management platform can be implemented within an organization or Enterprise and is used by the 3rd level support team such as Infrastructure team to provide multiple services (E.g. - Delivering application containers, Migration of containers on request) to end users based on some service level agreements (SLA) with more control and visibility.
