The historical background of international labor migration to France is briefly reviewed, and data are presented on the development and structure of the foreign labor force and the foreign population between 1946 and the present. Consideration is then given to the development of migration policies after World War II. Attempts to curb the number of illegal migrants through legislation and the promotion of return migration are described, and the recent policy allowing reunion of family members but penalizing illegal employment is discussed.
