The return and reintegration of Latin American migrants in Europe

Abstract

One of the first difficulties faced by the countries of origin of immigrants, when planning interventions and programmes aimed at maximising the benefits of their return, is the lack of knowledge about the dominant profile of those who return spontaneously, as well as the real impact, errors and successes of the various actions encompassing the assisted return plans implemented both by themselves and, above all, by European countries. This chapter identifies some limitations in the current management of return and its link with reintegration, and proposals are made to strengthen the actions of public administrations in the countries of origin in this regard. Return and reintegration are different moments from a single process that should be conceived in a comprehensive way to ensure effective interventions on it. The proposals made are precisely based on such a concept and focus exclusively on voluntary return, whether assisted or not, as forced return follows different logic. Particular attention is paid to the need to obtain better information on the phenomenon of return, not only assisted but above all spontaneous, as a prerequisite for strengthening the negotiating position of Latin American countries in their relations with the EU on migration management and influencing the European definition of return support programmes for the benefit of migrants and their reintegration possibilities. Firstly, we analysed the volume, characteristics and determinants of the return of Latin American migrants from Europe, and in particular from Spain, to their countries of origin. Below is a number of proposals through which the governments and administrations of the countries of origin can better define and coordinate their actions for the reintegration of returnees and the development of their countries.
