Who Favors Return? Exploring the Drivers of Attitudes Toward Return Migration in Europe
In recent years, return migration, particularly coerced returns of rejected asylum seekers and irregular migrants, has become a politically charged issue in European public discourse.. The trend is particularly evident in Western European countries, where immigration became salient in national elections and radical right-wing parties have led to politicize migration, note Lamis Saleh and Zeynep Şahin-Mencütek in their article for the
Bonn International Centre for Conflict Studies. They examine the social and contextual determinants of public attitudes toward such returns in five EU member states: Germany, Greece, the Netherlands, Poland, and Sweden. Drawing on survey data, the authors explore how individual-level characteristics such as age, gender, education, income, political orientation, migration background, personal contact with migrants, and trust, influence support for return migration.
