The primary objective of this research paper is focused on the prediction of the probability from occurrence of step migration to Gulf countries through empirical because field surveys in Uttar Pradesh from 2017 to 2018. The findings of the study show that there are dual-step phenomena of Gulf migration of the higher wages in the international labour market compared to the internal labour market in India. These consequences may be predicated on the positive role of the pull factor as higher wages in Gulf migration, in the phenomena of facilitating migration from Uttar Pradesh to the Gulf via internal migration, with long-term positive consequences of Gulf migration in the periphery of shifting of internal migration into international migration in Uttar Pradesh.
