Alternate Timelines

Scenarios about 'guest workers'

Guest workers are temporary laborers who migrate to a foreign country for employment while maintaining citizenship in their home nation. This system became particularly prominent in post-WWII Europe when countries like Germany, Switzerland, and France recruited workers from Southern Europe and North Africa to address labor shortages. Guest worker programs have significantly influenced immigration policies, cultural integration debates, and economic development in both sending and receiving countries.
