title: The unstoppable immigrant.
abstract: The author examines the effects of the restrictive immigration policies instituted by the European countries in the mid-1970s.  "This article considers the following questions.  Should one expect significant migrant supply pressure from the countries that formerly sent workers, as a result of their demographic, economic and labour market prospects?  Have the European countries devised any development-assistance policy with the explicit intent of cutting down emigration from these countries?  And would such a policy, if it existed, be efficient enough to decrease the incentives to migrate?"
