Abstract
Studying the key impact factors, development regularities and consequences from the international labor migration has its own solid place in Western socioeconomic sciences for the last six decades already. Throughout this whole period quite many truly original research works have been carried out in dozens of countries worldwide and unique scientific approaches have been developed so that to determine the cause-effect relations within the migration dynamics (including the theory of human capital, the theory of household optimization, the Todaro model etc.). In this article the author makes an attempt to overview the key results of the most outstanding research studies on international labor migration which have been carried since the middle of the 20th century and till now. Afterwards, the author also offers her own methodology for evaluation of migration risks from the standpoint of population in foreign countries. The author suggests to use this model in the process of developing modern migration policy at both national and regional levels.
Highlights
Empirical research of the factors determining the dynamics, structure and indicators of internal and external labor migration has become widely popular in Western social and economic sciences
As it is clearly seen in the table, an average citizen of Norway with their average labor productivity can earn the same wage in nearly any country worldwide as back at home
Labor migration from Norway to, for example, France would never become a threat for the national economic system of the latter
Summary
Empirical research of the factors determining the dynamics, structure and indicators of internal and external (international) labor migration has become widely popular in Western social and economic sciences. Such studies have been actively carried out by many world known scientists, specialized research centers at leading universities and representatives of both regional and national-level public bodies as well as experts affiliated to various international organizations. The availability of this huge database of empirical results obtained by scientists from very different countries (under very different economic, social, political and cultural conditions) allows us to assume that there is a sufficient theoretical background for successful formulation of modern migration policy.
