SOCIAL TRANSITION AND RE-INTEGRATION OF THE RETURN MIGRANTS
Main Article Content
Abstract
This paper primarily addresses the phases of social change that the migrants experienced because of their global migration. The literature review focused on how migration has been a universal phenomenon since the start of mankind. Also, it incorporated the social transition of the members and their families because of the migrant’s movements. Such qualities would consist of the changes in the occupational, educational (awareness), and religious aspects of the individuals that have gone under the impact of their respective relocation/s. The sample size was 20 people who had returned to their homes in the Union Council of Bewal, of the village Gujar Khan, in Punjab, Pakistan, after spending a few years abroad. Such factors are particularly significant in the lives of the individuals as they can make the re-emergence of the other similar returnees or relatives both motivating just as equally as challenging and a lesson for anyone who wishes to or has gone through an international migration.
