This paper presents a model of legal international labor migration, particularly temporary migration. It explores the likelihood of voluntary return of a majority of foreign workers to their home countries. The approach chosen is that of deterministic simulation. The results of the simulation suggest that a relatively quick labor turnover as required for a true guestworker system is unlikely under most conditions.
