Abstract:

Papers presented at the Conference of National Experts on the Future of Migration share common conclusions: 1) that man is naturally mobile and migration therefore must not be regarded as an abnormal phenomenon disturbing the natural order, 2) that history shows that migratory movements take on a different coloring in space and time, and 3) that researching the future of migration calls for a knowledge of the present situation in relation to past trends. Topics discussed is this compendium include 1) the trend of migratory movements, 2) the migrant's position in host and home countries, 3) demographic trends which differ between developed and developing countries, 4) technological trends, and 5) migration policies to be applied nationally and internationally.
