ABSTRACT
The study of migration in the world has only just begun in the period of capitalist development in the West with many different theories. Modern migration theories have been studied and applied in the process of developing migration management policies of many countries around the world. Like other countries, migration in Vietnam is a regular socio-economic phenomenon, a component associated with the development process. Under the impact of globalization, differences in living standards, income differences, employment opportunities, and access to social services are more clearly expressed, and become the main causes of current domestic and foreign migration flows. Migration management in Vietnam today is an important issue of concern to the Party and State in building and developing the country. The article researches and analyzes a number of typical migration theories in the world, in which focuses on clarifying two basic theories, the "Dual Sector" theory of Arthur Lewis and the "Expected Income Model" of Harris-Todaro are two migration theories that explain very specifically the causes of labor migration from rural to urban areas and from one country to another. On that basis, the article analyzes the perspectives and orientations in applying these theories to migration management in Vietnam.
