Models of Migration

Abstract

The world socio-economic space is characterized by an increase in migration flows coupled with an increase in the population as a whole. Over the past decades, the main reason for population migration has been economic. In an effort to improve the quality of life for their own and their families, migrants move to territories other than their usual place of residence, carrying with them their own culture, their worldview, their views on life and society. In this regard, it is important to define the key theoretical understanding of migration flows, revealing the scientific and practical significance for modern estimates of migration.
