Introduction Contd...
A year later, these three economies reported that they had not experienced any upheavals or disruptions in their labor markets. Instead, they claimed, the immigrants had helped fuel their economic growth by filling in the gaps in their labor markets

Background

Human migration, or the movement of people from one

from one nation to another came to be regulated by the national

profound influence on Europe in the 19th century and the early 20th
century, when hundreds of thousands of poor families left Western Europe
