The Number of the repatriates who have taken advantage of monetary payments in France, as a whole has appeared insignificant. Declaring the program of material stimulation, France counted on departure, at least, 100 thousand foreigners, however actual number of the migrants who have left with material payments, was estimated hardly in half of this figure. for 1977-1978 France within the limits of this program have left 32,7 thousand persons (taking into account members of families). According to 1980, all it was accepted 40,1 thousand statements on departure with material payments, from which 10,4 thousand - from the unemployed and 29,7 thousand - from the foreigners who had work. According to other source, from 1977 till June, 1980 of 49 thousand persons have left France under the program of material stimulation, from which 10,9 thousand unemployed and 30,1 thousand having work. Under the data presented at conference of Centers of research and the information on the international migrations which passed in 1988 in Geneva, in France from 1977 144 thousand foreigners have left the country with material payments. Those who has taken advantage of the help under the program of 1977-1981 and under the ex-Algerian agreement 1980-1983 are included in this figure.

According to an estimation of the report of the European council of 1983, repatriation with material payments has appeared not so successful as counted the French and German governments. Financial payments basically were received by those foreigners who have decided to return home for a long time already. Thus it is necessary to notice that foreigners of those nationalities at whom adaptation process proceeds with the greatest difficulties and on which reduction of number first of all and counted at government program carrying out, least addressed for the help. considerable number of immigrants aspired to remain in countries of Western Europe, despite the conditions which have become complicated because of economic crises of employment as did not lose hope in the long term to get a job.
