Migration – The Premise Of Socio-Economic Development?

Migration, a large-scale phenomenon of the 21st century, can be viewed from several perspectives, both at the microeconomic and macroeconomic levels. On the one hand, migration represents the cornerstone for the construction of personal well-being, in a world guided by political interests, and on the other hand, migration is that element that can produce major imbalances, when it is not properly managed. The objective of this article is to provide a detailed analysis of the issue of migration, but also of its effects, on the citizens, but also on the countries of origin and destination. In fact, it is intended to demonstrate the beneficial consequences that migration has on humanity, but also to mitigate its negative impact, by finding viable solutions.To test the formulated hypotheses, a research methodology will be used, which consists in the study of divergent opinions, from the specialized literature, trying to find the key points, for which there are often antagonistic visions regarding migration and development. Thus, the theme will be presented, from a conceptual perspective, which will show all the aspects in which migration exerts its influence on a state and its population.As a result of the research, it was concluded that migration can be a premise of socio-economic development, only when it falls within a certain limit and when the states manage it effectively. Otherwise, it becomes a threat to economic growth, which can increase regional disparities even more.
