Migration and Its Reception
Growth pulled workers in
- Because of the economic growth of the 1950s and 1960s, migrant workers from southern Europe, Asia, and Africa immigrated to western and central Europe.
- The CED gives the cause first: because of the economic growth — 9.2's miracle needed labour.
- So this migration is a consequence of the same policy that produced the consumer boom.
The CED's stated cause of the postwar labour migration is...
9.2's miracle needed labour.
Then the downturn changed the reception
- However, after the economic downturn of the 1970s, these workers and their families often became targets of anti-immigrant agitation and extreme nationalist political parties.
- However marks the hinge, and the trigger is economic, not demographic — the people had not changed.
- 9.6's stagnation is the same downturn, so this subtopic and that one describe one decade from two sides.
The trigger for anti-immigrant agitation was...
The people had not changed; the economy had.
Religion enters the argument
- Increased immigration into Europe altered Europe's religious makeup, causing debate and conflict over the role of religion in social and political life.
- That places migration inside 8.1's third thread — the role of religion in determining moral standards.
- So the CED treats the debate as intellectual as well as social, which is why the material sits under a knowledge claim.
A cause, an effect, or the change in reception?
Sort each element of postwar migration.
Match each origin to the kind of movement it is.
The objective distinguishes the two.
The trigger for hostility was economic, not demographic. The same workers were recruited because of the economic growth of the 1950s and 1960s and then, after the economic downturn of the 1970s, often became targets of anti-immigrant agitation — the people had not changed; the economy had.
Select all the effects the CED names.
Five items across two sentences.
Two kinds of movement
- The objective distinguishes migration within Europe from immigration to Europe, and the CED's own sentence covers both.
- Southern Europe is migration within; Asia and Africa is immigration to.
- Keeping the distinction is the easiest way to show the objective has been read.
The religion debate places migration inside the thread about religion's role in determining moral ____.
8.1's third thread.
Causes and effects
- Causes: economic growth needing labour, then a downturn changing what that labour meant politically.
- Effects: an altered religious makeup, debate over religion's public role, and anti-immigrant agitation and parties.
- The CED names all five in two sentences, so the material is unusually compact and worth using closely.
A factory advertises abroad for workers in a boom and lays them off in a slump. The people who answered the first advertisement are still there when the second decision is taken, and they are the most visible part of a change nobody chose.
Because of the economic growth of the 1950s and 1960s, migrant workers from southern Europe, Asia, and Africa immigrated to western and central Europe; however, after the economic downturn of the 1970s, these workers and their families often became targets of anti-immigrant agitation and extreme nationalist political parties.
