Labor migration from Turkey to Western Europe.  An analytical review from its commencement (early 60s) to the recruitment halt (1973-74).
"By joining the migratory labor movement to Western Europe in the early 1960s, Turkey, for the first time in its history, began showing signs of becoming a country of large scale economic emigration.  It is here argued that the growth of the number of Turkish workers in Europe during the recruitment period, and their becoming the largest of the foreign labor contingents in Germany and the Netherlands, was due to the exhaustion of the other suppliers' labor reserves.  Taking into account other viewpoints, the emergence of conditions for external migration and the specific 'push' factors are explored on the basis of Turkey's socio-economic structure; the characteristics of Turkish immigrants are also addressed in this way."
