"In the broadest sense, the ovjectives of the field study were two-fold: (1) to define demographic characteristics and motivations of the migrant and to determine what socio-economic and socio-cultural effects the migration experience has upon the lives of returned migrants; (2) to learn what discernable effects the migration movement had had upon the Turkish labor market, particularly with reference to the three selected regional markets of Izmir, Kocaeli and Zonguldak. Within each of these provinces, the applied methodology was three dimensional: (1) to obtain from official archives demographic data on one-time residents of the province who had been placed in positions abroad through official auspices; (2) to interview persons once employed abroad but since settled, or re-settled, in the province; and (3) to interview management in a cross-section of industries present there in order to define from this primary empirical source the characteristics of the regional labor market and to measure possible effects of emigration upon the regional economy."

"This chapter examines the policy formulated by the West German Government to deal with the status of foreign workers in that country. It analyzes the provisions of relevant legal documents including international treaties and the German constitution. In particular, it studies the 1965 version of the Ausländergesetz (Aliens Act) as well as judicial interpretations of this Act handed down in specific cases. Of primary concern is the impact of the Ausländergesetz upon the following: (a) ability of the worker to obtain and renew residence and work permits, (b) his vulnerability to expulsion from Germany, (c) residency and citizenship status of parties to mixed marriages, (d) naturalization rights and (e) status of accompanying dependents. The discussion examines the ensuing debate on criticisms of the Ausländergesetz and cites alternative proposals which have been presented. It concludes by recognizing the difficult task lawmakers face in balancing domestic interests with those of foreign workers, but notes the urgency of dealing with the problem if serious social conflict is to be avoided."
