Summary/Abstract: Spatial movement of the population is not a new phenomenon - it has been happening throughout the history in its various shapes, scope and intensity. Nevertheless, with the processes of globalisation it has been more and more noticeable taking a new shape and social characteristics (especially, economic migration). However, many of the threats and problems manifested at a global level still stay the main causes of legal and/or illegal, voluntary and involuntary migrations (poverty, unemployment, civil wars, persecutions, climate change, etc.). Long-term economic and demographic problems in developed countries have negative consequences - reducing the working-age population, undermining the sustainability of the social protection system and sustainable economic growth and the development of society in general. Therefore, the importance of migration has been noted to remedy these negative consequences. In order to face the problems that cause migration, the challenges and consequences of migration, the issues migrants face, and to control and manage migration flows at the national and international levels, it is necessary to establish the global cooperation of various social entities.
