Abstract: Examining the migration decision is a complex task given that migration is changing over time and multicausal complicated processes. This paper provides an overview of international migration globally and focusing mainly on Egypt as the most populated country in the Arab world. Moreover, it explores the determinants of international migration in Egypt based on a systematic review of empirical studies. To identify potential studies, we conducted searches of JSTOR, Scopus, PubMed, Google Scholar and Web of Science databases published between January 1, 1961 and January 31, 2020 using combinations of “determinants of migration” and “international migration in Egypt” search terms. Furthermore, an investigation of estimated migrant stock flows, and its determinants can provide fertile ground for potential migration forecasts through furnish some required indications for the demographic and economic analyses and assist policymakers in preparing legislative frameworks and adequate policy and for their own country’s development.
Keywords: Migration review, Egypt, determinants of migration.
