Migrating To Sweden
Sweden has not been a key destination for Moroccans migrants, compared to others like France and Belgium where immigrants from Morocco represent the biggest group within overall immigrant population. There was about half a decade of immigration of Moroccan workers to Sweden, between 1966 and 1973. Since then there have been a small but constant inflow of family members, mainly spouses and also aged parents, on average an annual arrival of 1,100 persons. By 2003, this number reached to 63.000. Of this group 54% were born in Morocco and 46% were born in Sweden, members of the second generation.

Famous quotes containing the word migrating:
“It is as when a migrating army of mice girdles a forest of pines. The chopper fells trees from the same motive that the mouse gnaws them,—to get his living. You tell me that he has a more interesting family than the mouse. That is as it happens.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
