  • Title: Foreign workers in OECD countries: the social and economic consequences.
    Author: Owen M, Schnare AB.
    Journal: Res Urban Econ; 1985; 5():53-74. PubMed ID: 12314135.
    Abstract:
    Recent trends in the migration of foreign workers to the capitalist countries of Europe are analyzed. The paper begins with an estimate of the volume of this migration and an analysis of migrant characteristics. Consideration is given to migrant settlement patterns, jobs, and living standards. The costs and benefits of temporary labor migration are assessed for both sending and receiving countries; and the authors note that these are social as well as economic in nature. The paper concludes with a review of the relevant policy issues.
