Return Migration and Psychosocial Wellbeing

The book draws on research encompassing four different continents – Europe, North America, Africa and Asia – to show how contextual differences affect wellbeing in return migration. Previous research has been heavily informed by clinical approaches and concepts, whereas the contributions in this book come from a wide range of social science disciplines. By considering psychosocial wellbeing as an empirical question, this book shows how wellbeing is affected during the return process. It will enable academics and policymakers to understand the repercussions of return, and indeed each chapter of this groundbreaking collection integrates implications for policymaking into its analysis.
