Why did 60 million people leave Europe for overseas destinations in the hundred years after the Napoleonic Wars? What were the social and economic causes and effects of this mass migration? Why did some people emigrate and not others, and why did so many emigrants return to Europe?

This short comprehensive survey answers -iese and other questions regarding emigration from different parts of Europe. Written specifically for undergraduate students, it views the current literature in several European languages, summarises both economic and demographic theories, and analyses the relation between economic change in Europe and the emigration rate.

Research findings from more than twelve European countries show that the economic and social characteristics of the regions from which the emigrants came are not an adequate explanation of the rate of emigration, raising questions about the importance of information and the 'chain' migration theory. The fact that 'return' migration was common also has important implications for the causes of emigration. Were the majority of returned migrants 'failures' or had many made the decision to return before they left Europe?

A further important issue is the relation between economic growth in Europe and emigration. In particular, did migration in cities inhibit or encourage emigration? Finally author discusses the economic effects of immigration on the receiving countries and Ile social experiences of the immigrants.
