Description	REMIG is guided by four research questions: 1. How do immigrants in various situations reflect upon and decide about return migration? 2. How does the possibility of return interact with A) integration in the country of residence and B) transnational relationships? 3. How can we understand and explain the patterns of actual return among immigrants? 4. How is return migration experienced by return migrants and the communities to which they return?
