Methods

The data in this dataset were collected through semi-structured interviews. Research Limitations The limited number of interviews make this dataset not representative. However, the interviews capture an area of research that is limited and offer insight of the perspectives of returnees on future migration.

Data Structure and Relationships Between Files Interview transcripts that do not have any specific order. Value of the data for potential reuse This dataset has high value as it records people perspectives on life in these cities (Abidjan and Dakar) at this point in time, the experiences of returnees and how these two conditions influence their migration aspirations. This dataset is relevant for migration scholars, organizers of return programmes and policymakers.

Results At the moment, these data have been used for two reports that are publicly available. Conclusion This dataset has important value but given the limited number of returnees that are supported by assisted return programmes, it would not be ethical to make this dataset available, even if anonymised. For this reason, this dataset is closed access.
