Abstract
This study examines the impact of Turkish labour migration on political attitudes and behaviour of the workers returning home. It is based on the results of a field study conducted in Yenimahalle District, Ankara. It covers the socio-economic status of the sample workers prior to their going abroad, why and how they went away, their socio-economic status while living abroad and since returning home, and finally their political attitudes and behaviour. The study takes into consideration the fact that the Turkish workers abroad do not form a homogeneous mass, and it is assumed that the entire process of the labour migration as well as their individual political attitudes and behaviour depended on their respective socio-economic status prior to their moving abroad. It is to be concluded, therefore, that the labour migration is not a phenomenon by itself capable of creating social and political transformation, but under specific conditions, could influence such a trend.
