Sažetak
The social position of labour migrants, especially Yugoslav, in F. R. Germany in the period after the 1973–1974 recession, is presented here. The policy of selective “integration” aimed at a part of the foreign population in F. R. Germany, attempts to stimulate the return of the other part, increasing xenophobic trends in the country concerned, and migrant children as a labour reserve for the future are discussed. The stereotype Yugoslav is queried. Although, according to the author, the Yugoslavs are considered by the Germans as hardworking and industrious people who are quick to learn German and who fit well into German society. Мanу of them have failed to carry out their plans, their family structure is increasingly jeopardized, and they exhibit lack of orientation at a level of political consciousness (avoidance of political and unionist expression in the country of employment).
Expressed is the viewpoint that the Yugoslav policy related to the external migrants' return and reintegration has to take into account those migrants in a poor socio-economic position, who have not managed to save much and who can hardly make use of programmes pertaining to the so-called small business, self-association, or the pooling of resources.
