  • Title: [Intentions to return home of foreigners living in Germany].
    Author: Waldorf B.
    Journal: Geogr Rundsch; 1997; 49(7-8):423-7. PubMed ID: 12294168.
    Abstract:
    "This article provides a comparison between intentions to return home and observable return migration behaviour of Italians and Turks living in Germany. It is argued that external factors (economic and legal conditions) and internal factors (assimilation in the host country and ties to home) influence the discrepancies between return intentions and behaviours. Using micro-data from the MARPLAN surveys and macro-data published by the German government for the 1970s and 1980s, the analysis reveals that the return migration behaviour of Italians is by and large consistent with their expressed intentions. In contrast, Turks are less prone to translate their intentions into behaviour. Specifically, Turks are more likely to postpone their intended return and extend their sojourn in Germany." (EXCERPT)
