TY - JOUR PY - 2007// TI - The Rise and Fall of Temporary Foreign Worker Policies: Lessons for Poland1 JO - International migration A1 - Plewa, Piotr SP - 3 EP - 36 VL - 45 IS - 2 N2 - This essay reflects upon post-World War II and post-Cold War admissions of low-skilled temporary foreign workers to North America and Europe. The author's hope is that lessons from history can help Polish (and other new European Union immigration states) develop well-informed labour migration policy. The lessons from North America and Europe suggest that admissions of low-skilled temporary foreign workers lead to short-term economic benefits and long-term economic, political, and social costs. This, in turn, makes coherent and humane statecraft difficult to achieve.
