Happiness and International Migration

In this paper, we examine how the happiness of the whole country affects the cross-border flow. We integrated the world value survey data which created the happiness index of 84 countries between 1981 and 2004 with three different immigration datasets. Immigration rate of the Economic Cooperation and Development Organization, Immigration United Nations Immigration National Census charge and net immigration rate. You can see that there is a U-shaped relationship between happiness and immigration rate. In relatively unhappy countries, the immigration rate will go down, but relatively happy countries will go up. The U-shaped relationship also applies to immigrants entering the United States. When analyzing pure mobility, we found the opposite relationship. Net immigrants are associated with increased happiness in relatively unhappy countries, but past the limit of happiness, net immigrants are associated with a decline in happiness. Our findings are useful for a variety of empirical specifications and datasets.

In this article we will focus on the theoretical perspective of international migration. Explain the outline of international migration, then explain international migration and immigration theory. By critically rethinking these theories, it also tries to identify some of the strengths and weaknesses of the global interpretation of international immigration. A variety of global researchers tried to explain the reason, the transition from development and application. This paper argues that this led to numerous theories about immigrants explaining all aspects of this phenomenon in detail, but lacking a holistic approach to immigration that can be more clearly understood .

There are many theories related to international immigration in literature. Therefore, researchers tend to classify migration theory according to various factors such as the origin of these theories, migration patterns, related fields, and application of these theories in the current context. In this section we will explore the nature of these classifications and the individual theories applicable to international migration. Hammar, Brochmann, Tamas, and Faist (1997) are trying to classify theories using movement levels. According to Hammar et al. (1997) and Faist and Faist (2000), movement theory can be divided into three main categories: micro level, macro level and meso level movement (Figure 3). Micro theory considers the decision of transition from an individual perspective.
