title: Restructuring of the labour market and the role of third world migrations in Europe.
abstract: "This paper is an analysis of the way in which the changes in the labour market and in the occupational structure in Europe affect the situation and the role of Third World migrants."  Changes in European labor migration patterns since the 1960s are first analyzed.  The author notes that "intra-European migrations were industrial migrations because manufacturing and building industries were the most important and growing economic activities....Present-day migrations are postindustrial migrations.  Immigrants work mostly in service activities and not infrequently in the informal economy. In any case migrant workers are located in the secondary labour market.  The picture is made more complex by the fact than many immigrants are alegal or illegal because of the restrictive immigration policies in European countries."
