Summary/Abstract: Today, migratory movements are very important demographic and social phenomenon. If we take into account the empirical evidence of increasing immigration volume and rates, the theoretical and research interest in this topic becomes understandable. This article will focus on labour migration, as it seems that a wide number of spatial movements are driven by economic motives. The aim of this paper is to examine the most important theoretical approaches, with special overview of Massey’s synthesis, and to point out the lack of emphasis on political and legal dimensions in the migration processes.
