The current situation of French immigrants

According to le figaro, there are 7.3 million French people born to immigrant parents, accounting for 65,438+0% of the total population in 2065,438+05.

The source of 7.3 million people reflects the history of French immigrants for more than a century. Most of them (45%) came from European countries: in the 1930s, the descendants of immigrants mainly came from Spain and Italy, and after the 1970s, Portuguese immigrants gradually entered France. With the end of Algeria's war of independence, France ushered in a wave of immigrants from North Africa, and their descendants accounted for 3 1% of the second generation of French immigrants. Since the mid-1970s, immigrants from other African countries or Asia have started to increase. In 20 15, 1 1% of the descendants of immigrants have at least one parent from sub-saharan Africa and 9% from Asia.

These second-generation immigrants are younger than the rest of the French population, and 47% of them are under the age of 25. Since the immigration tide in sub-Saharan African countries began in modern times, 80% of the immigrants are under the age of 25. 60% of North African immigrants are under the age of 25.

Nearly half (3.3 million people) of these second-generation immigrants have immigrant parents, and in 90% cases, their families come from the same country. 3.6 million people come from transnational marriages and families. Among them, the father is an immigrant and the mother is French. At the same time, the report shows that two-thirds of the descendants of immigrants over the age of 25 will not choose immigrants or second-generation immigrants as spouses. The descendants of immigrants from Europe are more inclined to choose people of different descent as partners than those from Africa.

According to the report, from the perspective of residence, most immigrants choose big cities such as the capital, and their descendants are also concentrated, with 30% living in Paris. European immigrants are mostly distributed in ile-de-france (26%), Western Europe and Overwien-Rhone-Alps (Overwien -Rh? Ne-Alpes) region and Provence-Alpes-Cote d 'Azur (Provence-Alpes-C? The blue coast) area. Their descendants are basically distributed in these areas, but the situation in Paris is less than that of their parents (2 1%). Most immigrants from sub-Saharan African countries and their descendants are concentrated in Paris (56%), and one third of North African immigrants and their descendants also choose Paris.

On the contrary, in rural areas, immigrants only account for 8%, and the descendants of immigrants are 1 1%. In rural areas, 27% of the population are neither immigrants nor descendants of immigrants.
