From the beginning, migration has been 6ne of the most conspicuous features of human history. Humanity did not appear simultaneously all over the earth but, according to the current scientific consensus, first evolved inAfrica, and from there spread far and wide.Even after mankind had populated most of the planet, migration continued to play a decisive role in history down the centuries, as people contended for territory and the resources that go with it. In many of history’s biggest movements of people, the migrants were not volunteers.

As individuals, not merely as members of races or religions in flight, people have always traveled in search of a better life.Between the middle of the 19th century and the start of the second world war, 60 million people leftEurope and move overseas to the United States,Canada, LatinAmerica,Australia, New Zealand and SouthAfricA、Much of this movement was guided by economic calculation.

After 1945 came another great change. ManyEuropean countries faced labor shortages. Governments actively recruited immigrants for jobs in their expanding industries. Migration surged again, now not mainly fromEurope to NorthAmerica but from the developing countries to the rich ones.
The next big change came in the 1970s. The rich countries were no longer growing quickly and struggling with labor shortages. Recession came toEurope andAmerica, and immigration rules were tightened again. This more restrictive regime continues to apply.
