Resumen
This study examines the complex relationships among information and communication technology (ICT), air transport, freshwater resources, economic growth, and migration patterns in different regions of the world from 2000 to 2022. Drawing on data from the World Bank, the study employs Jamovi software for descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and regression, complemented by ANOVA techniques to assess the significance of the differences across regions. Regions such as East Asia and the Pacific show robust economic benefits from high levels of ICT adoption and extensive air connectivity, which are positively correlated with GDP growth and trade in services. In contrast, regions such as Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia exhibit significantly lower levels of ICT adoption and air transport efficiency, contributing to the challenges in their economies and to their increasing out-migration rates. The study also reveals that increased Internet use is driving economic growth, while access to freshwater resources has emerged as a critical determinant of both economic health and migration strategies. Notably, the study finds that areas with better freshwater management policies are better positioned to mitigate migration pressures caused by economic instability. The implications of these findings underscore the need for policymakers to adopt a holistic approach that integrates ICT development, transportation infrastructure improvements, and sustainable water management to stimulate economic growth and mitigate migration pressures. Recommendations to policymakers include targeted investments in ICT and transport systems, as well as policies aimed at improving local economic opportunities. In addition, future research should explore the qualitative factors influencing these relationships and expand the geographic scope to better understand the dynamics at play. This study contributes to the existing literature on the subject by elucidating the interconnectedness of these critical factors and providing insights for effective regional development strategies.
