This article will evaluate the relationship between international migration, economic growth and employment, and the literature review of research on this subject and present the findings of these studies. The problem of international migration and immigrants resulting from economic difficulties, civil wars and regional conflicts has left socioeconomic effects on neighboring or receiving countries, and research on this subject has increased accordingly. In fact, this issue has had an impact not only on the socioeconomic dimension of countries but also on disciplines such as international relations, demography and political science. From past to present, millions of people have been forced to leave their countries due to regional or civil wars or interstate border disputes. In addition, migration manifests itself as the voluntary migration of people who desire a better life from one country to another and takes on the nature of labor force. Migration not only affects labor markets, productivity and economic development, but also brings about socio-political and demographic changes. The conclusion reached by almost all of the research conducted on this subject is that international migration in the form of human mobility benefits the economic development and labor market of countries, and provides significant advantages in the long term if immigrants adapt to society. The findings show that migration can contribute significantly to economic dynamism and diversity, but its impact depends on effectively managed migration policies and the socio-economic context of host countries. In particular, the majority of studies have found that migrating people with high knowledge and skills increase the level of human capital, especially in developed countries where there is a deficiency in population and human resources. The negative aspects of international migration are that if the migration is irregular, it will cause security and adaptation problems and a negative perception will be encountered in the host country societies.
