Paris, France, Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, 1987. :292-305. Abstract: This study defines a "new" immigration where foreign manpower is recruited on fixed-term contracts in the country of origin, in teams whose numbers and skills are set in advance by the national or international firms requiring labor for their projects in Arab countries. Illegal immigration by individuals without proper work permits is virtually impossible. This presents the issue of migration in quite new terms because it is carried out in new ways and brings migrant workers into contact with cultural, institutional, social, and economic patterns quite different from those found in Western Europe. The new procedures and problems are examined here in the context of two sending countries, Portugal and Turkey. The motives for emigration are discussed, as well as categories of migrants, the geographical origin of new migrants, their problems, transport and living conditions, difficulties in the new pattern, the impact on host countries and countries of origin, the impact on Portuguese and Turkish firms operating in the Arab countries, and the disposition of new migrants' earnings and savings.
