This article presents exploratory research on the migration of citizens from Sub-Saharan Africato Türkiye, which in recent years due to the rapid growth of migratory movement between the two regionshas opened a field of study for possible evaluations of migration between African countries and Türkiye.For these reasons, we selected the 16 West African countries for our research and carried out abibliographical review of the literature on migratory movements and contextualized the topic in the fieldof economics through the theories and models of different authors and economic schools.During our research, we discovered that the concept of “international migration” has a direct connectionwith economic development, and as it is known that development is one of the phenomena that influencesmigration, we also accept that migration from different perspectives also influences the economicdevelopment of both parties (origin and destination). During our investigation we concluded that peoplemigrate in order to find better living conditions than in their places of origin. We also identified throughSDG indicators the main factors that lead West African migrants to move from their country of origin toTürkiye. Given the current conditions, Türkiye is offering better working conditions and protection ofworker’ rights comparing to the West African countries.
