Abstract

The article deals with the segmentation of returning migrants in Bulgaria. It conceptualizes the complexity of remigration and its trajectories, causes, forms and consequences. Emphasis is placed on the variability, heterogeneity and fluidity of migration processes. Return is analyzed in the overall context of mobility as its moment or final stage. Priority is given to the subjective meaning and individual interpretations of migrants about the causes and results of their mobility. Structural factors are analyzed through the prism of their individual perception transforming them into prerequisites and motives of migratory behavior. Comparisons were made between the motives for departure and return as components of the overall migration movement. Diverse economic and non-economic motives for return are identified. Migration spatial and temporal trajectories of returning migrants, as well as their professional and educational segmentation, have been traced.
