Globalization has brought with it the discourse of a world without borders, but the supposed fluidity does not occur equally for everyone. There is freedom of movement for capital, goods, and elites linked to capital; for the working class, especially those from the peripheries of capitalism, the story is different and full of barriers. This class represents a workforce that is fundamental to capitalist dynamics, as is its circulation. Thus, in order to ensure its movement, still under the auspices of capital, a socioeconomic, political, and ideological apparatus is mobilized. In this scenario, the World Bank, an institution that is part of the capitalist structure, plays an important (and efficient for capital) role in ensuring the way capitalism organizes and manages the workforce. Thus, this dissertation aims to analyze how the World Bank's guidelines between 2010 and 2024 address the phenomenon of migration with a view to inspiring migration policies. We understand that the Bank's activities contribute to maintaining the dependence of the working class and strengthening capital. To this end, we conducted documentary research. The documents selected for analysis were four reports and 15 policy briefs from the World Bank, in which we sought to capture the World Bank's perspective on migration and migrants. We sought to understand what the institution adds to capitalist engineering, favoring its perpetuation, with regard to international migration. To analyze the selected material, we considered the following axes: development, remittances, work, perspective on migrants, motivations for migration, the state, migration policies, and integration. Our observation allowed us to perceive that the World Bank treats migration in terms of ‘advantages and disadvantages’, from an economic perspective related to income (on the migrants' side) and profit maximization (on the companies' side). For the nations at the center of capitalism, it is clear that this makes it possible to maintain the hierarchy that keeps them in the domain of capitalist relations. In general terms, the World Bank's guidelines on migration processes contribute to the accommodation of this phenomenon within the structure and needs of capital
