Abstract: International human migration has transformed economies and societies. The new millennium, with climate change and its impacts, and increasing conflicts and displacements, has experienced a great increase in international migrants, with associated challenges faced by governments. In this paper, we advance the modeling, analysis, and solution of international human migration problems by developing a network model with regulations. The formalism uses the theory of variational inequalities, coupled with Lagrange analysis, in order to gain insights as to the impacts of the regulations on utilities of multiple classes of migrants, and on the equilibrium flows. Our results add to the literature on operations research for societal impact, inspired by the real world.
