Germany’s Gastarbeiter policy was a part of foreigner employment policies carried out extensively on a West European level in order to maintain the economic prosperity brought on by the Marshall Plan, and the reconstruction from the war after the World War II from which it was made possible. The target nations were Southern European countries at first, but it was soon extended to the Mediterranean areas; the fact that such range was set was mainly influenced by the idea of uniting Europe into one community and the structure of the Cold War system. However, Germany’s insufficient labor force lead to efforts to obtain migrant labor from the 3rd World, and this was also because of several factors—other than economic factors such as the needs of the labor market—including the political situation of the Cold War, and the relations of development aids. In such international relations, they mainly accepted the female labor force from Asian countries, and the relationship of employer and employee there upon built formed several characteristics of the labor conditions of migrant female workers in this area. This includes the fact that Germany’s status as a development aid’s country forced nursing students to go to Germany to supplement the labor force. In a condition where there has not been a national agreement, their labor remained outside of legal regulations. Other than that, the cultural characteristics of Asian countries functioned in an amicable way in German hospitals, and the racially discriminatory treatment revealed in Germany’s migrant worker employment in the first place became more evident in these areas. In a world after the Second World War which proclaimed decolonization, new subordinate relations were beginning to be formed between the First World and the Third World, centered around the relation between the employer and employee.
