International migration has occurred for centuries. The UN estimates that 281 million people are migrants. However, the literature differentiates between migrants and expatriates, particularly based on their nationality. We explore the contexts of migrant workers and the motives for migration, focusing specifically on assigned expatriates and self-initiated expatriates. By addressing this underexplored area, we aim to contribute to governments, companies, and migrants, particularly by helping to develop practices that better integrate migrants into the economic labour market.
