Two Models of Integration of Immigrants: Germany and France
Main Article Content
Abstract
Since the second half of the twentieth century, the immigration of foreign populations has reached a significant volume in most Western countries. Massive and continuous, it led to a process of deep transformation of the nature and composition of the population in numerous countries of the Northern Hemisphere. While migration flows in earlier periods were primarily directed towards countries of the traditional immigration type, such as the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and in Europe France, they gradually expanded to all developed countries, so we can no longer speak of classic south-north migration movements.
In relation to other European countries, France and Germany will lead in two different ways: France as the first European country to open up to mass immigration, and Germany in terms of the number of foreigners.Their models of integration of foreigners are, however, significantly different.
