Abstract:

The differences in socioeconomic position and development between Northwest Europe and the Mediterranean area established the field of force in which the migration flows between the 2 areas could develop. However, the socioeconomic features were not equally strong for all the countries of either area, so the forces did not affect all countries of origin or destination equally. Among the receiving countries different proportions of Mediterranean migrants in the total population are found, and the proportion of emigrants elsewhere in Europe is not the same for all sending countries. The authors provide discussions and tables for 1) the framework of socioeconomic influences in which migration from the Mediterranean area to Northwest Europe occurs, 2) the length of the Mediterraneans' stay in Northwest Europe, 3) the distribution of Mediterraneans settled in Northwest Europe among branches of activity and the skill level of their work, and 4) some expectations about the future labor market position of the Mediterraneans settled in Northwest Europe.
