<p>No cenário das migrações no Brasil, o retorno ao local de nascimento tem crescido de importância nas últimas décadas. Este artigo tem como objetivo principal a mensuração dos efeitos direto e indireto da migração de retorno às unidades da Federação brasileira, no período 2000-2010. Foram utilizados os microdados do Censo Demográfico de 2010. A metodologia denomina de efeito direto os retornados ao local de nascimento. O efeito indireto é composto por parentes do retornado, desde que cumpram alguns requisitos. Os resultados apontam que a soma dos efeitos diretos e indiretos da migração de retorno correspondem a quase a metade dos imigrantes de última etapa do país.</p><p><strong>Abstract </strong></p><p>The return to the place of birth plays an important role in the Brazilian migration scenario. This paper measures the direct and indirect effects of return migration in Brazil between 2000 and 2010. Data come from the 2010 Brazilian Demographic Census. Those who return to the place of birth compose the direct effect. The indirect effect is composed by the returned migrant’s relatives, conditioned to some rules.  Results show that the return migration effects in Brazil represent almost a half of the Brazilian immigrants in the period.</p><p><strong>Keywords</strong>: spatial distribution, internal migration, return migration.</p>

New Ideas

Understanding the return aspect of international migration is vital because returnees replete with new ideas, perceptions on life, and monies affect every dimension of social life in migrants’ places of origin.  Yet, return migration remains uneven and an understudied aspect of migratory flows because migration scholars have privileged why individuals migrate, the underlying motivations for their moves abroad, and how migrants assimilate and succeed in their destinations abroad. Drawing on ethnographic research, this article addresses the migratory flows of Ladino and Mayan Guatemalans:  those who go North, but in particular, those who come South. And in doing so, it highlights their similar and divergent responses towards migration processes.

Economic Ties

The increasing difficulty of return migration and the demands for assimilation into host societies suggest a long-term cutting of ties to origin areas—likely accentuated in the Bolivian case by the recent shift in destinations from Argentina to the US and Spain. Making use of a stratified random sample of 417 families as well as ethnographic interviews in the provinces of Punata, Esteban Arze, and Jordán in the Valle Alto region the authors investigate these issues. Results suggest that for families with greater than ten years cumulated foreign work experience, there are significantly more absentees and lower levels of remittances as a percentage of household income. Although cultural ties remain strong after ten years, intentions to return to Bolivia decline markedly. The question of whether the dimunition of economic ties results in long-term village decline in the Valle Alto remains an unanswered.

Past Experiences

This is the first paper of its kind to look at policy perspectives on return migration in Turkey, based on an analysis of official documents and a series of interviews with Turkish authorities, government officials and academics. We identify several perspectives which range from the absence of a specific legislation to control return migration, to the concrete attempts to regulate the return of a selected group of migrants, namely the highly skilled. Subsequently, we show that these perspectives are built on a series of sometimes paradoxical arguments regarding economic development, past experiences about development initiatives and the country’s international objectives.

Return Process

This paper analyses homecoming experiences of African labour migrants who lived in Israel and returned home. Using qualitative research methodologies, I discerned what factors - material and non-material - determine the relative success of the return process. Focusing on these factors’ effects, I offer a new understanding of labour migrants’ homecoming experiences: those who are “content,” “readjusting,” or “lost. Following Ulrich Beck's (2006) analysis of cosmopolitanism, I suggest that these categories portray significant new life spaces that are neither what they left nor what they came from, and are dynamic, fragile, and constantly changing. In some cases the influence of economic assets on the returned migrants’ homecoming experience was indeed crucial, in many other cases the challenges of reconnecting oneself with home, family, and existing social norms and customs was much more influential on their homecoming experience including on their sense of well-being. Furthermore, some of the non-material goods such as individualization, personal responsibility, and long-term planning proved useful, others such as trust, particularly in relation to family, were detrimental.
