Abstract

Mass migration has become, since the middle of the twentieth century, a worldwide phenomenon, thereby increasing the national, cultural, ethnic, religious, and linguistic diversity in numerous countries and regions. Between 1990 and 2013 migration has risen 50%, equaling almost 5 million additional immigrants per year (United Nations, 2013). The projections are for massive growth in the influx of immigrants in the upcoming years.
