International migration will play an increasing role in the demographic future of
nations if fertility continues to decline in most countries.
Net immigration already accounts for roughly 40% of population growth in the
United States of America and about 90% in the EU-15 countries

In countries, which do not share a long
and porous border with the destination
country and do not have extensive
networks leading to low-skilled jobs
there, international migration is more
costly and risky.
This precludes much emigration from
the low end of the skill distribution,
leaving a predominance of brain-drain
migrants at the top.

investment where the returns to migration
(in terms of higher wages associated with a

From this follows that the humans compare
the expected income they would obtain for

with the expected income they would
obtain in the alternative region (Y) and
further accounts for 'transportation costs' of
moving from region X to Y.

Thus, neoclassical economic theories of labor migration posit that individuals situate
themselves in the labor market and jobs where their expected earnings (net of migration
costs) are highest. Earnings are the product of wages and time worked, both of which
depend on education and other “human capital” characteristics of individuals. Other
considerations affecting individuals’ satisfaction or “utility” at different locales (e.g.,
proximity to family members, relative deprivation, family income risk) also affect migration
propensities in neoclassical models.

The Lewis dual economy consists of a "capitalist" sector and a
"non-capitalist" sector.
Although Lewis did not intend this, in practice the capitalist sector
has generally become identified with the urban economy and the
non-capitalist sector with agriculture or the rural economy.
Sir W. Arthur Lewis
Though neoclassical two-sector models originally designed to
examine the reallocation of labor between rural and urban areas, it is
potentially applicable to international migration.

According to Ranis and Fei’s interpretation of the Lewis
model, the perfectly elastic labor supply to the capitalist
sector ends once the redundant labor in the rural sector
disappears and a relative shortage of agricultural goods
emerges.
Through migration, the marginal value products of labor
are equated between the two sectors. Here the Lewis
classical approach ends and the neoclassical analysis
starts. The dual economies merge into a single economy
in which wages are equalized across space.
Assuming full employment of labor in both rural and urban sectors and minimal transactions
costs, inter-sectoral wage differentials should be the primary factors driving rural outmigration.

Rural-to-urban migration exerts upward pressure on wages and on the marginal value
product of labor in rural areas, while putting downward pressure on urban wages.

Todaro proposed a modification of the neoclassical migration model in which each
potential rural-to-urban migrant decides whether or not to move to the city based on an
expected income maximization objective.
Expected urban income at a given locale is the product of the wage (the sole determinant
of migration in the neoclassical models), and the probability that a prospective migrant will
succeed in obtaining an urban job. Expected rural income is calculated analogously.
Individuals are assumed to migrate if their discounted future stream of urban-rural
expected income differentials exceeds migration costs; i.e., if

Among nations, the share of rural population declines sharply as per-capita incomes
increase, from 70 to 80% in countries with the lowest per-capita GNPs to less than 15%
in the highest-income countries.

The world's great migrations out of rural areas are accelerating. The most populous
countries also are among the most rural. The greatest migration potential is in China,
where 71 % of the population is rural and an estimated one-third of the rural labor force
of 450 million is either unemployed or underemployed.

The predictions of Human capital migration theory
First, the young should be more mobile
than the old, inasmuch as they stand to
get returns from migration over a longer
period of time.
Second, migration between locales should be negatively related
to migration costs. This has been interpreted as implying a
negative association between migration flows and distance.
However, considerations besides distance (especially access to
information) may make distance less of a deterrent for some
individuals
(e.g.,
better-educated
individuals
or
those
with
"migration networks", contacts with family or friends at prospective
migrant destinations).
27

Third, neutral productivity growth in an economy - e.g.,
equal rates of growth in the rural and urban sectors -
will increase migration from low-income (e.g., rural) to
high-income (e.g., urban) sectors or areas.
Fourth, specific human capital variables that yield a higher
return in region A than in region B should be positively
associated with migration from B to A.
In addition to these predictions, human capital theory
implies that income differentials between rural and urban
areas are eliminated by migration over time.

Migration not only produces lost-labor, and possibly also lost-capital, effects on rural
economies. It also represents a potentially important source of income and savings,
through migrant remittances. Non-migrants benefit from emigration, even if they do not
receive any of the remittances themselves, provided that the magnitude of migrants'
remittances exceeds a critical threshold roughly equal to the value of the production they
would have produced had they stayed behind.
Measuring
remittances
is
difficult
because migrants often enter developed
countries outside of official channels and
repatriate their earnings through informal
means. Money may be returned in the
form of goods purchased abroad or in
the form of cash savings brought back
by migrants or visiting family members
("pocket transfers").
