“…By focusing on young women, the chapter brings a well-needed gender-and age-based approach to the study of return. In Europe, we also see a growing inclusion of gender dimensions and analysis in the literature on return migration (Bilgili, Kuschminder, & Siegel 2017, Kuschminder, 2017. Also engaging with a gender perspective, Leslie Butt, Jenny Munro, and Gerdha Numbery (2017) look into the return experiences of indigenous women from Tanah Papua, Indonesia, who are HIV positive.…”

Most research on irregular migration in Europe has so far developed with a Eurocentric focus not sufficiently engaging with parallel policy and research developments in other world regions. The publication of McAuliffe and Koser's (2017) A Long Way to Go, Irregular Migration Patterns, Processes, Drivers and Decision-Making and Taylor and Lee's (2017) Mobilities of Return: Pacific Perspectives on the Asia Pacific regional challenges of irregular migration and complex mobility offer a welcome opportunity to reflect on related research findings and common challenges for migration and asylum governance in Europe and the Asia Pacific.

Variables applied to measure social reintegration were related to membership of organizations, friends and family ties, transnational ties, the time duration of stay after return and involvement in the decision‐making process in the household (Adamnesh, 2006; Ketema, 2014; Desalegn, 2017; Bilgili et al ., 2018).…”

Return migration is one aspect of migration that has been increasingly studied since the 1980s (Cassarino, 2008).Since then, different scholars have clearly illustrated that returnees' socio-demographic characteristics (e.g. age and sex), the mode of their return (voluntary or forced) and their living situation in the host country (e.g. duration of stay, employment, income and extent of integration) and in the country of return (e.g. employment opportunities and availability of resources) all influence the so-called 'success' of their reintegration processes after re-

“…There is an increasing body of research that examines returnees’ perceptions of return (Fransen et al, 2017; Bilgili et al, 2018 ; Fransen and Bilgili, 2018). Within this research, several authors acknowledge the importance of the migration life cycle in shaping return perceptions and experiences (Cassarino, 2014; Bilgili et al, 2018).…”

“…We focus on the subjective perceptions of returnees, which has received less attention in the literature. The few studies that have focused on perceptions of return (Gmelch and Gmelch, 1995;Ammassari, 2009 ;Wong, 2014;Ruiz, Siegel and Vargas-Silva, 2015) generally do so with voluntary returnees or refugee repatriates. These studies have found that subjective perceptions of return may differ from objective reintegration measures (such as employment status), stressing the importance of research on subjective perceptions of return.…”

This article seeks to understand the role of the migration lifecycle in the subjective evaluation of return by Ethiopian deportees from Saudi Arabia, focusing on the conditions that lead to positive evaluation of the return. Logistic regression analysis was carried out on a unique data set of 2,039 Ethiopian deportees from Saudi Arabia collected in 2014. Despite having been deported, 45 per cent of respondents evaluate their return positively. It is found that subjective socio-economic position is highly influential in returnees' assessment of their reintegration, but those who are self-employed on return are much less likely than those who are unemployed to describe their return positively. This may be linked to work conditions and because these respondents are engaged in necessity entrepreneurship. Additionally, all stages of the migration cycle, including before and during the migration episode, are influential in shaping perceptions of return.
