Impacts of immigration on labour markets: A theoretical appraisal
Original language description
International migration has significantly impacted the labour markets of receiving and sending countries and is becoming an increasingly important aspect of a globalised world. Given the importance of international migration on national economies, it is important to continuously study the factors that determine international migration flows. This chapter describes the causes of migration from different theoretical perspectives, including an assessment of the key factors that, according to economic theory, lead to the initiation and perpetuation of international migration, provide the motivational stimulus for a decision to migrate and determine the major impacts of migration on labour markets. An exploration of the theoretical links between migration and the causes and consequences of migration can significantly facilitate an understanding of the issues and decision making regarding migration policies. However, none of the existing theories can fully explain the complex issue of migration in its entirety; hence, this chapter will first focus on the complementarity between already existing theories and then conduct a critical empirical investigation of selected theoretical postulates. Complex solutions can be found by applying a multidisciplinary approach to migration by using the knowledge of coexisting theories and studying the realities of migration.
