International migration
Original language description
Studies of what motivates people to migrate is rooted in human capital theory. Immigration is seen as an investment decision involving comparisons of returns and costs to moving. From the macro-economic perspective, gravity theory of migration explains aggregate migration flows between countries based on the characteristics of the origin and destination countries. A key insight from migration analyses is that it is highly selective. In addition to income and employment differentials, a number of other drivers of migration has been identified in the large body of research on international migration. These include migrant networks (especially at destination), origin-destination distance and cultural and linguistic barriers. Recent studies have dealt with conflicts and environmental factors as causes of migration and natives’ attitudes and immigration policies as determinants of migration decisions.
