“…We believe that these differences might arise from the method of data collection. First, LFS is known to underestimate migrants and returnees as it gathers data at the level of households and underestimates small, economically independent units (Bahna, 2012;Kahanec and Kureková, 2016). Second, the online data are likely to overestimate the well-educated job seekers and job changers who are less likely to rely on public employment services and more extensively use the internet as a means for job searching.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to understand the value of foreign work experience for young migrants after their return to the home country labour market and their labour market preferences relative to stayers. Design/methodology/approach The authors analyse the labour market integration patterns of young return migrants in Slovakia. After reconstructing the life histories of young people from online CVs, a set of regression models investigates the attractiveness, salary expectations and positions of interest to returnees in comparison to stayers. Findings Post-accession foreign work experience increases the attractiveness of job candidates. Foreign work experience changes the expectations of returnees with respect to wages and widens their perspective on the location of future work. In the underperforming labour market, migration experience signals to employers a set of skills that differentiate young returnees from young stayers in a positive way. Research limitations/implications While the web data are not representative, it allows the authors to study return migration from a perspective that large representative data sets do not allow. Social implications Foreign work experience is, in general, an asset for (re)integration into the home labour market, but the higher salary demands of returnees might hinder the process in a less-skilled segment of the labour market. Originality/value Return migration is a relatively underresearched area, and knowledge about the perception of returnees among employers and the labour market preferences of returnees is relatively limited. Another contribution lies in the use of online data to analyse return migration from the perspective of both labour demand and supply.

“…Working immigrants can have an impact on the expansion of migratory flows. If immigrants take up employment in a foreign country, their family members and friends will have a higher possibility of migration too (Bahna, 2012;Bilan, 2012).…”

The main aim of this article is to identify certain specificity in self-employment of foreigners in EU countries and to find out whether the differences in self-employment of foreigners between countries are diminishing. Within the main objective, we have set two sub-objectives. The first sub-objective is to compare EU countries on the basis of the following indicators: 1/ number of self-employed foreigners and 2/ share of self-employed foreigners in employed persons from foreign countries. The second sub-objective is to determine whether EU countries converge in the number of the share of self-employed foreigners in the number of employed persons from foreign countries. We have confirmed that the countries have a tendency to convergence in regard to the share of self-employed foreigners in employed persons from foreign countries. We assume that this tendency can also be due to the pressure of the labour market that shows a lack of labour force. The share of self-employed migrants is relatively high in Eastern Europe. On the other hand, their increase is below average compared to the EU.

“…Second, the differences in the structure of returnees in the web survey data and LFS data could be due to specificities of the latter survey's data collection. LFS underestimates migrants and returnees because it gathers data at the level of households, and underestimates small and economically independent household units (Bahna 2013;Kahanec -Kureková 2016). Furthermore, LFS only captures short-term migrants (up to one year) and recent returnees, while the web survey captures returnees who worked abroad a longer time ago, or more permanently.…”
