[Return migration and the development of a rural commune in Basilicata]

"This study, based essentially on a survey of 80 returnees, examines the extent to which return migration has contributed to processes of economic change in an agro-town in southern Italy, Bernalda (Potenza)." The authors conclude that return migration has had only a limited impact on the economy because of the low demand for skilled labor in the area of origin. (summary in ENG, FRE)
