Jobs for Immigrants (Vol. 2): Labour Market Integration in Belgium, France, the Netherlands and Portugal Summary and Recommendations

چکیده
Unlike most European countries, the French experience with immigration predates the post-World War II period. France in the nineteenth century saw itself as a haven for persons in search of freedom or persecuted for political reasons in their own countries. With industrialisation and growing labour needs, France became a destination country for labour migrants, especially from Belgium and Italy, a situation which continued after World War I. In 1931, France had already 2.7 million immigrants accounting for 6.5% of its population.
