Does Austria accept immigrants?
What is a country of immigration?
At first, most nationals were immigrants, and few were local residents. In the process of development, the number of immigrants has increased, and finally a unified country has been formed, such as the United States, Canada, New Zealand, etc. These countries are not composed of local residents.
Judging from the answers, it seems that Austria does not belong to an immigrant country, while the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand belong to immigrant countries.
However, when searching in German, I found that the Austrian media didn't think so. They gave a surprisingly consistent answer: "Austria is an immigrant country!" "
Second, the history of Austrian immigrants
The earliest Austrian immigrants can be traced back to18th century, and Vienna is a very popular place for immigrants. After the end of the Holy Roman Empire, the immigration tide changed slightly, but Vienna still retained a large immigrant population. However, due to Austria's geographical location, most of the immigrants came from Central and Eastern Europe, and the number of residents reached 2.239 million at the end of the Holy Roman Empire 19 16. Vienna is also the place where most Jews in Europe live.
1960, Austria's population increased due to immigration 1 154000. From 196 1 to 20 15, the number of immigrants in Austria is 1483000.
Two of them appeared after World War II and 1990 Yugoslav Civil War. The latest migration wave was in 20 15, after the Syrian war.
Three. Austrian immigration policy
In fact, under the background of globalization, the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South America and other traditional immigrant countries are no longer the only choice for immigrants. Especially after 1990, the immigration conditions in some European countries have gradually relaxed, such as Spain, so many people who are willing to immigrate are also concerned about Europe.
With the establishment of the European Union, citizens of EU countries have more opportunities to work abroad. In view of the impact of the economic crisis in 2007, a large number of people moved within the EU. In particular, several countries with relatively good internal economies in the European Union have poured in a large number of immigrants. Austria is no exception.
