International migration has been explained through a wide range of theoretical frameworks that attempt to capture its complexity, causes, and consequences across different spatial and temporal contexts. Early explanations were largely grounded in economic reasoning, but over time, scholars have incorporated sociological, political, and historical dimensions to develop more comprehensive understandings. One of the earliest and most influential approaches is the neoclassical economic theory of migration. At the macro level, this theory suggests that migration is driven by geographic differences in labor supply and demand, leading to wage differentials between countries. Workers move from low-wage, labor-surplus regions to high-wage, labor-scarce regions in pursuit of better economic opportunities. At the micro level, individuals are viewed as rational actors who weigh the costs and benefits of migration and decide to move if the expected returns outweigh the risks and expenses. While this model explains many migration flows, it has been criticized for oversimplifying decision-making and ignoring social and structural constraints. In response to the limitations of neoclassical theory, the new economics of labor migration shifts the focus from individuals to households. It argues that migration decisions are not made solely to maximize income but also to minimize risks and overcome market failures in the home country, such as lack of access to credit, insurance, or stable employment. Families may send one or more members abroad to diversify income sources and ensure financial stability through remittances. This perspective highlights the importance of collective decision-making and the role of migration as a household strategy rather than an individual choice. The dual labor market theory offers a different explanation by focusing on the demand side in developed economies. It posits that advanced industrial societies have a structural demand for migrant labor due to the segmentation of their labor markets into primary and secondary sectors. Native workers tend to avoid low-paying, unstable, and low-status jobs in the secondary sector, creating a demand that is filled by
