Abstract

The paper is focused on the issue of returning migrants and their participation in the labour market in Bulgaria. The study is based on data of a representative survey, conducted in 2017 under the project “Returning migrants: segmentation and stratification of economic mobility”. The analysis covers two main aspects of the subject: 1) age and education of the respondents as characteristics for inclusion in the labour market and their labour status at the time of the investigation; 2) comparison between the type of employment (by economic activity, qualification, type of labour contract, etc.) abroad and in Bulgaria after the return, outlining peculiarities, disparities and consequences. Some essential problems for the participation of migrants in the labour market in Bulgaria are described.
