Remigration

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Remigration (also known as return migration ) describes the part of a migration process that comes at the end of a chain of migration with the return to the country of origin.

definition

Usually, remigration is only spoken of within a biography; this does not mean migrating back to the country of origin of ancestors. For all migration movements, a proportion of remigrations can be assumed, if these are practicable. A re- migration can be intended from the start or it can be forced ( expulsion , deportation ). In principle, the same potential backgrounds apply to remigrations as to migrations. However, there may be additional factors, such as the desire to get involved in the changed context of origin after politically motivated emigration , or simply homesickness .

The return migration has, among other things, consequences for social security. For example, when a foreigner returns (permanently) to his or her home country, there may be pension reductions and / or the conditions for a contribution reimbursement to the statutory pension insurance are met (see, for example, the relevant sections in the article on old-age migration ).
