Profiles and Motives of Potential Migrants from Albania [antikvár]

FOREWORDAfter completing its first year of operations with the publication of six reports on transitmigration, the IOM Migration Information Programme for Central and Eastern Europe and theCIS (MIP) started its second phase in 1995.The present study on Profiles and Motives of Potential Migrants from Albania is the second inthe MIP 1995 series. Others to follow include studies on Transit Migration in Turkey;Chinese Migration in Central and Eastern Europe; the Attitudes of Nationals of the FormerRepublic of Yugoslavia towards Return; and Russian Ethnic Population and PotentialMigratory Flows in Latvia. These topics have been defined as priorities for study incoordination with governments and in line with IOM's planning and operational needs.MIP was created to make available to governments and other users current information onmigration trends and potential flows of migrants. We hope this study contributes to theproject's aim of helping improve understanding of general and specific migration issues,thereby furthering progress toward the definition of comprehensive institutional approaches sothat disorderly migration can be dealt with more effectively.James N.
