Development related issues in Solomon IslandSolomon island is a combination of 6 major islands and 900 smaller islands and coversland area of 28,400 square kilometres (Solomon Islands: Introduction, 2018). Honiara is thecapital of this island. The population estimated was about 599,500 are Melanesian and there alsoconsist of small Polynesian, Micronesian, Chinese and European communities. People situatedhere speak English as it is a local language of Solomon Islands. Solomon island is one out of fiveleast developed pacific islands. Thus, development related issues of Solomon Islands has beendiscussed in following context-ECONOMIC FACTOREconomic factors are not only one that influences economic development but they arealso important to understand economy's capacity of developing by their own (Solomon Islands:Economy, 2018). Thus, gross domestic product of Solomon island was 1.30 billion 2017. Andthe GDP value represents less than 0.01 percent of world economy. Thus, important economicfactors mainly include natural resources, power and energy resources, capital accumulation,technological resources, labour force that are available in country, transportations andcommunications and education and training that is explained as per below context-Natural resources are physical resources that are available in a country that includes trees,soil, water, minerals, coal, oil and anything that is existed or available in a particularcountry.Power and energy resources are natural or manmade resources that produces energy.Capital accumulation or financial profits are investments that are owned by country andis used in terms of paying wages or hiring labour.Technological resources refers to advanced technology that are used within a particularcountry. This includes computers, cell phones and various other devices that helps inincreasing capabilities of business and quality of life.Labour force considers number of skilled labours that are available within a particularcountry. Discrepancy in education or number of labours that are needed can cause harmto economy of the country. If there are too many labours and less amount of work it willresult to unemployment. If there are fewer labours and high amount of work it will resultto lack of efficiency and inefficiency in supporting economic output of a country.

Transportation and communication includes all the transportation system that areavailable in a country that includes air, train, car and road and communication systemincludes phone lines, internet, radio etc.Education and training means availability and quality of education system and trainingthat is provided to citizens of the particular nation.Opportunities for migrants-Solomon Islands is a source as well as destination for both domestic and internationaltrafficking (Bennett and et.al., 2014). The male migrant workers are forced to do labour inlogging and mining industries and female worker who are migrated from Asia are forced inprostitution. Furthermore, crew members who are fished on shipping boats are displayed asindicators of human trafficking that includes non-payment of wages, limited food supply andsevere condition of work. Thus, young girls who are moved from different state are also forcedas trafficking in order of the domestic work or will be forced for prostitution in camps and hotelestablishments. They experienced severe contraction of economic and stagnation over ethnicconflict period. Their growth in economy was 2.9 percent in 2016. Solomon's island economyand population are largely diverse across the country. Thus, recognition of the availableopportunities will help the policy makers in seeing different priorities and development needs ofeducation. Even though there is a fast change in modern machineries, political system andinstitutions, they are required more responsibility and cooperation in order to tackle education,migration and development. The disagreement between education and development has to facechallenges at a policy level. Migration plays a medium between transfers of capital and humanskills that occur from developing to developed countries. It has been estimated that migrationaffects development only if their policy and framework are correct. It was considered that theeconomic growth and development of destination countries were contributed by transfer of skillsand knowledge and paying taxes.Rate of migration-Rate of migration includes difference between person entering or leaving islands duringyear per 1000 persons. Further, net migration rate indicates migrations contribution to overalllevel of change in population (Bryant, 2014). Thus, it is not distinguished between lawfulmigrants, undocumented migrants, economic migrants and refugees. In the year 2015 rate ofmigration in Solomon Islands was -4.26 per thousand populations which was felled from 2.95
