劳动力国内流动与国际流动的区分与资本主义社会不同发展阶段相适应。在自由竞争资本主义时代，国内流动占优势，在垄断资本主义时代，国际流动更具典型意义。前者的特点是，破产农民从农村流入工业中心和城市;后者的特点是，劳动力由工业中心逐步向资本主义国家转移。当然，在这一历史时期也存在劳动力由工业中心流入资本主义国家殖民边区的相反过程，即所谓向荒无人烟和边远地区移民。但随着资本主义向广度和深度方向发展，劳动力的国际流动更加引人注目。

labor domestic liquidity compatible with the international flow distinguish different stages of development of capitalist society. In the era of free competition capitalism, the dominant domestic liquidity, in the era of monopoly capitalism, the international flow more typical sense. The characteristics of the former, bankrupt farmers from the countryside into the industrial centers and cities; latter is characterized by labor gradually transferred to the capitalist countries by industrial center. Of course, in this historical period, the flow of labor from the industrial center of the capitalist countries, the colonial border region opposite process, namely the so-called immigration to the uninhabited and remote areas. But with the development of capitalism to the breadth and depth direction, the international mobility of labor is more compelling.
