Understanding migration and fertility issues would be very relevant in the context of changing demographic \r\ndimensions between developed and developing countries, in particular differing age structure of the populations \r\nbetween them. As the developing countries have opportunity for potential demographic dividend due to increase \r\nin the supply of labour force, the developed countries would be facing a shortage of labour force and health care \r\nburden for old age people. Further, this phenomenon will have repercussion with respect to movement of people \r\nfrom developing countries to developed countries and flow of economy at the global level. At the county level, \r\ninterregional migrations seems to be increasing due to demographic diversity within the country. Rapid urbanization \r\nin the developing countries is another challenge due to rural-urban migration. Therefore, the migratory movement \r\nwill have greater effect on the future population changes not only within the country level, but also in both developed \r\nand developing countries and more so depends on the fertility behavior of the migrants. All these phenomena will \r\nhave implications on the social and economic dynamics both at the local and global level. The purpose of this note is \r\nto review main theories on the relationship between migration and fertility and their empirical evidence.
