Characteristics of international population migration after World War II

After World War II, the population mostly flowed from developing countries to developed countries, the proportion of permanent immigrants decreased obviously, the short-term floating population increased, and the migration forms were diversified.

1. Political international migration has increased dramatically.

After the war, Europe redrawed its national boundaries, which made the countries in Eastern Europe enter and leave each other because of the changes in national boundaries. The partition of India and Pakistan led to the largest international migration of population in Asia: in independent African countries, the original colonists were forced to repatriate their populations.

Secondly, the flow of international immigrants has changed greatly, the demand for labor in the United States has decreased, and a large number of Europeans have returned home from colonies.

After the war, the rapid economic development in Europe, the reduction of population pressure and the decrease of emigration population made the region change from emigration to immigration.

3. The United States is still the main immigration place, but the source structure of immigrants has changed, European immigrants have decreased, and Latin America has become the main source of immigrants. After 1970s, the number of immigrants in Asia surpassed that in Europe.

Extended data:

Due to war, natural disasters, plague and other factors, large-scale population migration occurred in history, and people had to leave their homes to find new places to live.

With the acceleration of global economic integration, the change of world political structure, the deterioration of world ecological environment and the rapid development of science and technology, population migration and mobility between countries are unprecedented, and working abroad has become the choice of more and more people.

The development of the whole overseas work industry has a history of several decades, and the demand is very simple. Based on the income gap at home and abroad, domestic workers are trying to earn money after going abroad.
