“…The estimated results are consistent with those of Mayda (2005) and Ravlik (2014) who find that GDP per Capita and unemployment in the destination country are among the most important factors in determining immigration patterns. Our results also support Sprenger (2013) who find that that GDP per capita and the unemployment rate of the host country are more important in determining migration flows.…”

“…The results indicate that the labor reforms in the origin country don't have statistically significant impacts on the immigration trends. Our results are in accordance with those of Mayda (2005) and Ravlik (2014) who find that push factors like GDP per Capita and unemployment in the destination are among the most important factors in determining immigration patterns. One direction for the future research is to use different techniques including Vector Error Correction (VEC) model and fixed effect income effects across different destinations.…”

This paper investigated the immigration flow among periphery and core European countries to find out what are the most important factors shaping immigration trends. Using quarterly data for the period of 1990-2016 for immigration from Greece, Italy, Portugal, and Spain to core European countries including: Germany, Netherlands, and Sweden, the results of this study suggest that pull economic factors such as GDP per capita and unemployment rate in the destination countries are the more important factors shaping the immigration trend than the push factors including labor reforms. The higher the unemployment rate in the destination the less migrants flow to these countries. The results indicate that the labor reforms in the origin country donâ€™t have statistically significant impacts on the immigration trends.

“…At the microlevel, factors are analyzed much less frequently than at the macrolevel (Ravlik, 2014). Here, the context, which is associated with a specific country, locality, and population living there, and which has its own specific sociocultural characteristics of perception and behavior that formed over a long time, is of great importance.…”

From 1991 to 2019, the economy of Uzbekistan passed through the four stages. Each stage was characterized by certain demographic, economic, political, and other factors. These factors influence the formation of foreign labor migration at the macrolevel. The mentioned stages reflect (i) the transition from a planned to a market economy against the background of an increase in migration outflow for permanent residence in 1990-2000, (ii) acceleration of economic growth in 2000-2009 and the formation of "migrant networks" abroad, (iii) a period of slowdown in GDP growth in the absence of structural reforms to stimulate employment and investment in 2010-2015, which contributed to the active growth of labor migration, and (iv) a stage of new socioeconomic reforms and increased attention of the leadership of Uzbekistan to migration processes. This study takes into account these macroeconomic conditions, but focus is shifted to the reasons for the change in migration processes in terms of poorly understood sociocultural factors that affect foreign labor migration and reintegration of labor migrants in Uzbekistan. The article is based on reports from specialized studies of foreign labor migration and employment conducted by the Ministry of Employment and Labor Relations of Uzbekistan, publications of studies by international organizations, and data from indepth interviews with migrants and their families. The research revealed that under the influence of macroeconomic conditions, the change in the sociocultural context in 2006-2019 contributed to expansion of the geography of migration flows from Uzbekistan, the emergence of such phenomena as the "feminization" of migration and its "rejuvenation" against the background of certain elements of egalitarianism in an initially patriarchal society. Studying the sociocultural context made it possible to assess the degree of "success" of migration, in terms of remigration and the ability of migrants to reintegrate into society upon returning home. It has been determined that the microcommunity in Uzbekistan, as a donor country of labor resources, has both stimulating and constraining effects on the transformation of migration processes.

International migration refers to the compulsory or voluntary movement of people from one country or region to another country or region for various reasons. In addition to being a demographic phenomenon, it is also a complex process that develops depending on the decision-making mechanisms of individuals. This study examines the relationship between health and migration from the perspective of the host country. Thus, this paper explores whether health expenditures influence immigrant populations in host countries. In addition to health expenditures, growth and urbanization, which may impact migration, are also included in the model, and the relationship between these factors in OECD countries is discussed for the period from 2000-2017 by using a panel vector autoregression (PVAR) approach. The results show that an increase in health expenditures increases the size of immigrant populations in OECD countries. This result confirms that health expenditures function as pull factors for migration in OECD countries. Additionally, the urbanization and economic growth coefficients were observed to be statistically insignificant. Moreover, the PVAR analysis also demonstrated that, in the long run, an increase in health expenditures contributes to economic growth in these countries. Therefore, health expenditures are considered a factor in the migration policies of both host and source countries because they are a determinant in migration decisions.
