International Migration in Modern Economic Development: With Special Reference to Yugoslavia

In: International migration review: IMR, Band 16, Heft 4, S. 736-756

Abstract

This article analyzes international migration within the framework of modern socioeconomic development, taking as an example the Yugoslav external migration in the period after World War II. How these migration flows fit with generalizations derived from long-run experiences with external migration of other countries is examined. General theoretical reasoning is applied in order to elucidate the basic determinants of migration, thus making a contribution to the integration of the theory and policy of economic development of emigration countries.
