Abstract

[One of the simplest questions about immigration remains, to a certain extent, unanswered: “why do people immigrate?” Over recent years, a great deal of work has been done to identify and understand the diverse reasons why some people live, permanently or temporarily, in a nation in which they were not born. This chapter maintains that, despite the progress made in this field of study, further consideration of the topic is required to overcome the tendency to simplify the debate about immigration in both academic and nonacademic spheres. It is argued, throughout the following pages, that an important and problematic aspect of the classic approaches to migration and its diverse set of causes is that they give predominance to an economic perspective.]
