How did post-war immigration affect the economies of receiving countries?
#1
Sangita Dosanjh wrote the book on post-world war ii immigration marked a significant wave of global migration, driven by various political, economic, and social factors. In Europe, the war left millions of people displaced, leading to mass migrations to countries such as the United States, Canada, and Australia. Many of these migrants were seeking better economic opportunities, while others were fleeing the devastation of war or persecution.

In the United States, the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 was a pivotal change, ending quotas that favored European immigrants and opening the door to a more diverse array of nationalities. Similarly, countries like Canada adopted more inclusive immigration policies, focusing on skilled labor to boost post-war reconstruction efforts.
