This is the first study to conduct an empirical investigation of the relationship between migration and development in Serbia and Albania.

Empirical findings organised across different levels of analysis (micro, macro and meso), as well as the typologies of “paths to entrepreneurship” deserve particular attention.

Research Results are now online: Migration and its Impacts from the Perspective of the Economic Development of the Home Country: with Special Reference to Kosova
The varied research outcomes of this RRPP-funded project show that the migration remains relatively high and is preconditioned by the low level of income. However, the analysis of the determinants of the decision to return proves that Kosovan households are selective in their return migration behaviour.
