New economics of migration
migration decisions are made by large units of related people (families, communities) in which people act collectively to maximize expected income and minimize risks and to loosen constraints associated with various kinds of market failures
Segmented labour market theory
international migration stems from the intrinsic labour demands of modern industrial societies
Historical-structural theory
because political power in unequally distributed across nations, the expansion of global capitalism acted to perpetuate inequalities and reinforce a stratified economic order
Social capital theory
social capital plays a positive role in the acquisition and accumulation of other forms of capital and is a strong influence for migrant workers
Theory of cumulative causation
over time, international migration tends to sustain itself in ways that make additional movement progressively more likely
