| Research Abstract |
Mobility of human-being has less advanced compared with one of goods and capital. However, globalization in the world economy made it possible to promote movement of people. International human mobility, in particular, for those who have high-technology and high-level of special knowledge, and the number of foreign students have increased. This phenomenon can be explained by the utility maximization of the individual. In recent years, the international migration of the medical workers from the developing countries to the developed countries is discussed earnestly. This issue has been dealt with as the individual one so far, but nowadays, some countries try to recruit foreign medical workers as economic policy of the country. The increasing number of the international migration could affect the medical system of the sending countries and the fiscal revenue, and the brain drain is getting serious problem. Furthermore, this liberalization in the movement of people affects lifestyle of people, in particular, female, and leads to late marriage, non-marriage, low fertility rate and the aging society. This research explains theoretically as well as empirically from the perspective of modern economics how liberalization of people's movement affects individual behavior, family and society.
