A report on the return of young Diaspora to the BiH labour market

Summary

This was a first mapping of the potential for the return of migrants, re-integration into the labour market, and contribution to the development of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) by its young Diaspora. The results of the survey, including demographic characteristics of the migrants; motivations for and obstacles to their return and reintegration into the BiH labour market; ties to and identification with their home country; as well as comparisons across groups, are analysed in their report.

The aim is to identify the challenges and opportunities for young Diaspora to return successfully to BiH as well as to identify interest and motivation to contribute to its development whether or not they are interested in returning. It offers policy considerations as well as suggestions for future researchers in BiH.
