Abstract: Abstract International migrations have always existed in one form or another. But since about 1960 a new breed of migrants has become dominant in these movements, viz. more or less temporary workers variously described as ‘foreign workers’, ‘guest workers’, ‘migratory workers’, ‘to-and-fro migrants’, ‘shuttle-migrants’, ‘new-style immigrants’, ‘temporary citizens’, ‘secondary-status workers’, ‘proletarians on loan’ or ‘brawn drain’. In contrast to the old-style immigrants, they are not intending or meant to be permanent settlers, but workers temporarily employed in the host countries for periods typically ranging from six months to three years and then usually returning to their home countries.
