Post-Return Configurations of Belonging, Readaptation and Mobility among Older Portuguese Migrants between Portugal and France

This dataset and accompanying materials support the article “Post-Return Configurations of Belonging, Readaptation and Mobility among Older Portuguese Migrants between Portugal and France”.

The package contains the final data used in the analyses of 613 older Portuguese migrants with migration experience in France and a history of return to Portugal. It includes an English data dictionary, R scripts, calculated results and documentation linking the analyses to the manuscript tables.

The analyses examine belonging, identity, memory, emotional attachment and readaptation, identify post-return configurations, and assess their associations with reported residence, mobility, evaluations of return and future residential orientations. Exploratory comparisons by time since return are also included.

The data are cross-sectional. They support analysis of associations within the study sample, rather than causal conclusions, population prevalence estimates or individual change over time.
