Abstract
An evaluation of a survey of British skilled labour migrants to the Middle East. A.M. FINDLAY and A. STEWART The Middle East became the second most important foreign destination for British emigration during the 1970s. Most emigrants were highly skilled persons, working either on lucrative short term contracts for Arab companies or governments or moving as career migrants within international organizations. The study explores the reasons for and consequences of this migration stream. Changes in Arab labour markets have precipitated considerable return migration of these skilled workers, many of whom have difficulty in reintegrating in the British economy. Consequently many of these skilled workers are once again seeking overseas employment, earning themselves the title of « new nomads ». The article explores several alternative explanatory frameworks within which this movement can be studied.
