Migrant Labour in Europe (1987) examines the movement of workers
from less prosperous parts of Europe to areas with demand for their
services. The author identifies seven major systems of migrant
labour: the North Sea System (mainly Westphalian workers heading
for the German and Dutch North Sea Coast and Walloon/French workers
bound for the Belgian and Zeeland coasts); the area between London
and the Humber; the Paris Basin; Provence, Languedoc and Catalonia;
Castile; Piedmont; and central Italy with Corsica. A detailed study
of the first of these systems, tracing its development and changes,
is brought into a synchronic relation with data for the other
regions. The evidence shows major waves of immigration in the
seventeenth century, and a rapid diminution of migratory labour to
the North Sea in the last quarter of the nineteenth century, a time
when new 'pull areas' were created by the expanding industrial
complexes of Germany and labour began to come in from areas outside
Europe.
