Abstract

The paper presents some of the results from the questionnaire survey carried out (towards the end of 1989) as part of the project “Migration and social development”. Data concerning the subjective evaluation of emigrants in regard to their position in host countries and the relationship of the host population to them indicates their relatively good acceptance in the host countries, but also the typical situation of “first generation” migrants, who are never totally resocialised and accepted in the host countries. Such a situation is the result of several factors: the immigration policies of host countries, the relations between host countries and countries of origin, the relationship of countries of origin towards economic migrants and also the effects of inter-contacts between the host populations and newcomers, as well as the personal equations of individual migrants.
