Abstract The study examined population growth in Warri Metropolis and its effect on the family standard of living. Data used was generated from primary and secondary sources. The primary data was acquired through the use of administered questionnaires, while secondary sources were obtained from a projected population of the metropolis in other to capture the rate of growth in population. The study area was stratified into six (6) zones based on land-use types to ensure adequate spread. In all, a total of fourteen (14) neighbourhoods were selected at random. Actual and projected population data of the metropolis from the year 1970–2015 was obtained from the National Population Commission. The findings revealed that population growth significantly affects the standard of living within the metropolis, which is influenced by natural and human factors. Therefore, it is recommended that there be a need for intervention programmes to help reduce the population growth rate and stimulate socio-economic development.

Abstract The paper chronicled the issues around globalisation and migrations in an attempt to expose the role they play in bringing about some form of development in various starters of a nation's economy. Whereas migration has been a long-time practice of human endeavours for many decades, globalisation, on the other hand, is a recent trend as many nations tend to close rank in terms of economic dependency. The paper brings to the fore the advantages, disadvantages and implications of globalisation and migration to the citizens and how they have been able to cope with the new normal of their day-to-day life. The authors argue that most uneducated citizens do not see the major benefit of globalisation as they believe it has negatively impacted their culture and belief as a people. Unknowing them that globalisation has to do with nationals from different nations exchanging ideas and engaging in trade and commerce for their benefit and the world at large. The paper concludes by exposing some of the implications of globalisation and migration to the educational sector, such as illiteracy reduction, education internationalisation and favourable government policies on population enrolment into schools
