Description
This report presents insights from the research project Possibilities and Realities of Return Migration (PREMIG), funded by the Research Council of Norway and led by the Peace Research Institute Oslo (PRIO).

They drew upon statistical analyses and face-to-face interaction with more than five hundered migrants and returnees in seven countries.
