Abstract

Nowadays we witness an increased use of information & communication technologies which contributed to important changes in the world due to the Globalization process. Additionally, Globalization and ICT increased the movement of people or the so called migration. The migratory flows have increased considerably in the last decades. Due to this, there is a need to review the migration theories through the lens of the ICT. The analyses of migration and ICT lay the premises for a knowledge-based society. This paper focuses on the migration theories, starting from the dominant and oldest theory explaining the causes of migration. Hereinafter, it discusses the neoclassical theory and the human capital approach, the new economics of migration, network and institutional theory. Thus, there have been many attempts to explain migration from different perspectives but what becomes clear nowadays is that there is still request for more analyses considering updated perspectives.
