Many so-called guest workers from Turkey cannot live on their pensions in old age, according to Deutsche Welle. The report marks the 65th anniversary of an agreement West Germany and Turkey signed on October 30, 1961, to allow the temporary recruitment of workers. The excerpt did not give figures on how many former workers are affected or describe any government response. The feature focuses on the long-term financial consequences for the workers who came under that arrangement.
