Abstract: During most of the first 60 years of the 20th century, Denmark experienced net emigration. Since then, Denmark has experienced a growth of net immigration. A shortage of labour during the 1960s attracted guest workers from the former Yugoslavia, Turkey and Pakistan to Denmark. In addition, there has been a substantial rise in the number of asylum seekers granted refugee status since the 1980s. Both guest workers and refugees have taken advantage to a considerable extent of the opportunities for family unification. Hence the number of foreign citizens resident in Denmark has increased from around 40.000 in 1960 to nearly 260.000 in the year 2000. Seventy per cent of these foreign citizens are from countries other than those of the Nordic and EU areas and North America. A continution of net immigration is expected in the 21st century
