Abstract: Abstract In general, pull and push factors govern the magnitude of international migration flow. However, the actual flow between two countries is primarily determined by the pull factors generated in countries receiving labour, although the existence of emigration pressures in countries ‘exporting’ labour provides the necessary condition for migrants’ movement to become a reality. Labour-importing countries do not practice an open-door policy to foreign workers simply for humanitarian reasons. A Government’s policy to tolerate or accept the presence of foreign workers or open the door to them is usually a reflection of existing substantial and persistent labour vacancies which nationals cannot satisfy or are unwilling to fill.
