Birçok politikacı ve yazar işçi göçü seçeneğini “güvenilmez”, “yararsız” ve yerel iş piyasalar üzerinde olumsuz etkiler bırakacağı şeklinde eleştirse de, işçi göçleri kısa vadede tek seçim olarak Avrupa Birliğinin önünde durmaktadır. Bu bağlamda, bu çalışma işçi göçlerinin yerel iş piyasaları üzerindeki etkilerini araştırmaktadır. Durum çalışması olarak 1961–73 yılları arasında Türkiye’den Almanya’ya gerçekleşen işçi göçleri incelenecektir
