The aim of this article is to identify what factors explain the return of so many Portuguese emigrants aged between 20 and 34, analysing the relationships between emigration and return, integration and return, and the effectiveness of the return, studying the entire migratory journey. The empirical analysis presented in this article is based on data collected through an online survey of Portuguese emigrants in the age group under study. The most important conclusions were that young Portuguese adults emigrate for work reasons, while they return for family reasons.
