Abstract
The present study was commissioned under the joint auspices of the European Society for Rural Sociology and the Netherlands Ministry of Social Work. In the first instance the assignment for an analysis of the literature of twelve countries on the Continent of Europe was confined to:
-
(a)
the problem of the internal migration of countrypeople — persons from preponderantly agricultural environments — to the city and to industry respectively;
-
(b)
these migrants’ problems, adjustment to urban forms of society;
-
(c)
the measures which have been taken or have to be taken to promote or facilitate their adjustment, and an evaluation of the effect of these social and other measures on their process of adjustment.
