Post-Emigration Economic Conditions in Europe

Abstract: A 5 page paper discussing how mass emigration affected economic conditions in Europe prior to 1914. Nearly 60 million Europeans departed their various homelands for the New World during the 50 years preceding World War I. Certainly emigration played a primary role in shaping Europe's economy at the beginning of the 20th century and its effects are evident even now, at the beginning of the 21st. It also is useful in explaining the still-sustained decrease in inequality between 1800 and 1914. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
