  • Title: The Middle East: a new destination for Turkish labour migration.
    Author: Lawless RJ, Seccombe IJ.
    Journal: Tijdschr Econ Soc Geogr; 1986; 77(4):251-7. PubMed ID: 12314523.
    Abstract:
    The shifts in migration experienced by Turkish emigrants are discussed starting with the large-scale emigration to Western Europe in the early 1960s. Official figures illustrate that since the 1970s the major current has been toward the Middle East and North Africa, specifically to Libya, Saudi Arabia, and Iraq. Socioeconomic and political factors influencing Turkish migration are discussed. The earlier migrants to Western Europe and later migrants to the Middle East and North Africa are compared on the bases of sex ratio, settlement and duration of stay, remittances, motives, and individual migrants versus organized groups of workers. Turkish migration to Australia is also discussed.
