(Phys.org) —Migrants that return to their home country rarely stay there for the rest of their life. Much more common is 'circular migration', where migrants live alternatingly in host and home countries and are therefore continually going through integration and re-integration processes. This is one of the main conclusions of NWO-researcher Gea Wijers in her study on Cambodian returnees. Wijers obtains her PhD today at VU University Amsterdam.
