Satisfaction of return EU movers

Labour mobility and migration have long been a defining feature of the European Union (EU), fostering economic integration, cultural exchange, and social dynamism. Within this complex landscape, return mobility – where EU citizens move back to their home countries after living in another Member State – offers specific opportunities and challenges. Understanding the experiences of returnees is critical for shaping policies that support their reintegration, maximise their contributions to home economies, and address potential disparities in satisfaction and well-being compared to other populations.
