Migration policy in the French West-Indies (1946-1987). Fred CONSTANT Among the different migratory movements to France, that of French West-Indians (Guadeloupe and Martinique) presents specific characteristics ; not only because it concerns black nationals but also because it involves the evolution of the authorities' behaviour towards the economic development of these two Caribbean islands. French West-Indian policy, originally initiated as a preliminary to the beginning of economic development and as a solution to the demographic problems of these societies, encouraged until the middle of the 70s, massive emigration of local workers unemployed at a time when foreign labour demand was one of the main stimulants of metropolitan economic expansion. In the face of these population flows both in the « employer » country and countries of « origin », the « migratory imperative », the initial option taken by the authorities, was to undergo a downward trend. Howewer, the priority given to the social and cultural insertion of the migrants and the stopping of « official » migration were to be promoted by the policy of left-wing government. Since March 1986 and the political change of government, a new appeal for mobility has been launched by the authorities in a climate of uncertainty
