AB - This study aims to understand the motives of 4 Korean returnees from U.S.A.
The case of A reveals that it does not any more appropriate to divide the “success” and “failure” of return migration solely by the economic motives.
For family A, the return migration to Korea was not the end of migration cycle, but an another start. The motivation for B’s return can be accessible, only when the problem of inclusion or integration of emigrant in the host society should be considered. If B’s return would be the result of emigration “failure,” it is not an economic failure, but a “failure” to be integrated into the society. Lastly, based on Dienel’s typology theory, this study pays attention to “emotional motives” of return migration. Especially in the case of D and C, the emotional factor as return motivation proves to become more significant, along with aging. These cases clearly demonstrated the inter-connectedness of aging and return migration.
