Return from Germany , Date: 2008.04.04, Order number: FFFB04 , format: Research report, area: Authority

The research study regarding voluntary and forced return was drawn up for the European Migration Network. The report primarily deals with the return of persons who are obliged to leave the country, providing information on the data available, describing the political and legal contexts, and provides a differentiated overview of various return-related measures. It offers detailed information, embedding it in a broader framework, and indicates existing gaps in research.
The extensive report is supplemented by various smaller studies which were commissioned by the Federal Office from experts who belong to the national network of the EMN to round off the topics dealt with by the research study of the EMN. The expert reports deal with return-related questions of migration theory, with the historical development of the promotion of voluntary return in the Federal Republic of Germany, with the current practice of advice on returns, as well as with the connection between return and development.
