The first main wave of post-1945 migration from war-destroyed Europe to traditional immigration countries (US, Canada and Australia) slowed down at the beginning of the 1950s mainly because of the vigorous economic revival of Europe. Many people thought that high economic growth would reduce migration, but after the mid 1950s it increased again. The vast economic revival in Western, Middle and Northern Europe led to high migration into this region from Southern Europe, Turkey and Northern Africa. At the same time, migration increased to the traditional immigration countries where decreasing numbers of European immigrants had been more than compensated by numbers of immigrants from Asia and Latin America. The impact of these migrations on the social structures of receiving countries is the subject of this paper. -from Author
