BULGARIA ON THE MOVE is a book about internal migration, immigration and refugees in industrialising Bulgaria of the 1910s–1930s. It examines integration of immigrants and refugees through intermarriage and their inclusion into the host country’s labour market, the connection between migration and urbanisation. Issues are approached from the perspective of historical demography and historical statistics.
