Sažetak
Governments of struggling economies, such as Croatia, are becoming increasingly interested in the potential of return migrants to help build and strengthen their homelands. Return migration is viewed as a vehicle for bringing knowledge, skills and financial capital to the homeland (Pifat-Mrzljak, Juroš & Vizek-Vidović, 2006). There is a recognised need for return migration to be investigated as a multi-stage process to identify common antecedents leading to the return of members of the diaspora (Cassarino, 2004) with the aim of assisting this process. This study used in-depth interviews to investigate the reasons for return, the multi-stage process of return migration, planning stages, labour market participation of Croatians who return or move to Croatia, common personal characteristics present among those who returned and their self-identified lessons learnt. Results showed that most participants displayed information seeking transnational behaviours prior to return. They planned for periods of financial self-sufficiency. Some visited regularly or moved to a nearby country as a step prior to return. They participate in a variety of labour-market activities: retirement, studying, self-employment and salary-employment. Most displayed high levels of self-efficacy, determination and openness. They all placed minimal importance on politics.
