Abstract

The past 30 years have seen an unpredicted and large increase in international migration that now encompasses almost all countries, to some extent, either as senders or receivers. Social scientists did not expect this pattern. Demographers claimed that the era of large-scale international migration was over; populations would be shaped in the future largely by their fertility and mortality dynamics (Davis, 1947). Sociologists abandoned their traditional studies of immigrant assimilation and integration; economists redirected attention from the relations between capital, trade and labour flows between countries towards the microeconomics of labour. But even in the 1950s and 1960s, when these shifts were under way in the social sciences, the elements of the ‘new’ pattern of international migration were unfolding. While large-scale transcontinental migrations of permanent settlers were scarce, the magnitude of temporary mobility of persons for work, business, study and other purposes was on the rise.
