Why did no European country hire Indonesian guest workers in the 1950s and 60s?
Indonesia had and still has a large population, the highest unemployment rate in the region and is relatively heterogeneous, which does not set a good precedent for establishing parallel societies (unlike with Turks and Moroccans for example). Why did no country opt for Indonesian immigrants, even though other far Asians like Pakistanis and Vietnamese were taken?
