Circular migration models with innovative policy interventions to balance economic growth, workforce needs and migrant welfare between host and origin countries

This comprehensive review examines circular migration models and their impact on balancing economic growth, workforce requirements, and migrant welfare in both host and origin countries. Through systematic analysis of existing policy frameworks, empirical research, and case studies across various regions, this paper evaluates the effectiveness of current approaches and proposes innovative policy solutions to optimize circular migration outcomes. The review identifies significant opportunities in existing circular migration frameworks while highlighting promising practices from different regions that have successfully implemented balanced migration governance. Special attention is given to policy interventions that simultaneously address economic needs and migrant welfare. The paper argues for an integrated approach to circular migration policy development, emphasizing the need for evidence-based strategies that incorporate both market demands and human-centered considerations. Through analysis of successful policy interventions and persistent challenges, this review provides actionable recommendations for policymakers, researchers, and practitioners working to create more effective circular migration systems.
