title: [Foreign immigration in contemporary France].
abstract: Immigration trends in France since 1946 are first reviewed.  The author notes that immigration peaked in the period prior to the oil crisis of the early 1970s.  Tighter immigration controls adopted in 1974 have affected the characteristics of the immigrant population concerning intention to return to country of origin, length of stay, and reuniting of family members.  Consideration is also given to immigrant characteristics by nationality, unemployment among foreigners, and fertility differentials.  "The second part of the article examines the new terms of the immigration problem (the alternative between the foreigners' integration and the maintainance of the immigrant statute) and the programs to be proposed."
