Abstract:
This presentation aims to highlight the main features of the phenomenon of migration, the return, and reintegration of returning migrants. Suitable financial and economic crisis of recent years, made it possible for Albanian migrants to return home to build a normal life. The migration in Albania is a present phenomenon commencing as early as 1990. Although the level of migration has had fluctuations over the past two decades, overall performance tends to grow over time. Albania has been a massive migration phenomenon from the beginning of the 90s. This important aspect of the democratic regime was virtually unknown before the '90s, when the Albanian society was a closed society. After the 90s, the main component that shaped democracy was immigration. It is known that people migrate when their country lacks the resources and opportunities to fulfil their needs and aspirations. This is the situation of emigrants who left for a better life for themselves and their families after a long period of communist transition which resulted in poverty and high unemployment levels. The term "a better life" includes a wide range of factors that pushed Albanians to flee and is reflected on the lack of homogeneity among immigrants As mentioned above, suitable financial and economic crisis made it possible that after 2009, there were a considerable number of immigrants who returned to Albania by investing their savings and trying to integrate into social life in the country. Considering that the phenomenon of returning immigrants is a significant measure, it is necessary to study it, understand the problems of migration, and contributing to efficient approach for reintegration of immigrants into society.
