Abstract
A historic and rapid shift in the demography of many nations, marked by significant immigration, mostly to Western economies, caused in part by the search for jobs as well as attempts to escape war, poverty, and dysfunctional societies. In many parts of the world, largely homogeneous nations and regions (or ones perceived as such) faced the increasing reality of a more diverse population, often with very different cultural and linguistic backgrounds.
