Abstract
Human migration is a topic that has received attention not only from economists, but also from demographers, sociologists, and geographers. In this chapter the focus is on the development of a network framework using variational inequality theory in an attempt to formalize this challenging problem domain. In particular, we explore the utilization of variational inequality theory in conceptualizing complex problems in migration networks.
