Who reintegrates? The constituents of reintegration of displaced populations
Open accessAbstract
Abstract The reintegration constituents of displaced populations are understudied, despite increased attention being paid to return and reintegration outcomes. In this paper, we explore how various factors related to the migration cycle, including returnees' displacement experiences and return conditions, are associated with reintegration outcomes. For this aim, we take a multidimensional approach to the measurement of reintegration. In addition to objective reintegration outcomes, measured by food security, we address subjective assessments such as feelings of reintegration. We focus on the unique case of returnees in Burundi and make use of a database consisting of a sample of 189 former internally displaced persons (IDPs) and 194 former refugees, which allows for a comparison of the reintegration of these two groups. The analyses highlight that objective and subjective reintegration do not necessarily align and that displacement experiences and return conditions relate to reintegration outcomes in different ways. Land and livestock ownership upon return are for example positively correlated with feelings of reintegration and subjective wealth, whereas community support is crucial to cope with food security. Moreover, we show considerable variation in reintegration outcomes between refugees and IDPs, with refugees showing more positive outcomes when individual characteristics are controlled for. This result calls for more in‐depth research on the contextual and structural factors that elucidate the variation across groups going beyond individual level explanations. Overall, the findings emphasise the diversity in reintegration outcomes and identify the role of experiences during displacement and return conditions for the reintegration of refugees and IDPs.

Moreover, there are particularly few quantitative studies that include both former IDPs and former refugees and none to our knowledge that has looked at both objective and subjective dimensions of reintegration.This cannot be fully explained by the idea that migration research in the Global North overshadows research conducted in the Global South.Practical matters, such as the difficulty of collecting large-scale data in conflictaffected countries, also play a significant role in the persistence of this gap.However, those who have fled from war or political unrest may face additional challenges after returning to their origin country.Their migration experiences, the return conditions in a post-war area, and the challenges of reclaiming belongings may make it more difficult to reintegrate (Ruiz & Vargas-Silva, 2013).The reintegration of IDPs and refugees therefore needs particular attention. Despite data collection challenges, some studies have explored the reintegration of displaced populations using quantitative data.For example, Fransen, Vargas-Silva, and Ruiz (2017) studied the economic integration of returned refugees in Burundi and found that return households reported lower levels of livestock and lower subjective economic well-being.Similarly, Kondylis (2010) researched the labour market outcomes of displaced individuals (refugees and IDPs) in Bosnia and Herzegovina.Other studies focused specifically on IDPs.O'Reilly (2015), for example, studied the consumption patterns of returned IDPs in Uganda, and Verwimp and Munoz-Mora (2017) looked at food security and nutritional status of IDPs in Burundi.Overall, most studies compare returnees to non-returnees and find that returnees (either former IDPs or former refugees) are worse off than those who did not move during the conflict, although outcomes seem to improve over time. Comparisons between returnees and non-returnees have however been criticised as a comprehensive measure of reintegration (see, e.g., Black & Gent, 2006) and do not reveal why some returnees reintegrate while others do not.The constituents that underlie the reintegration process have received less attention, and it is particularly unclear what factors account for a "successful" reintegration.Moreover, as suggested earlier, studies often focus on singular and objective reintegration indicators, such as consumption and asset ownership, thereby disregarding the complexity of the reintegration process and its various components. · plain

The constituents of reintegration of displaced populations > Abstract The reintegration constituents of displaced populations are understudied, despite increased attention being paid to return and reintegration outcomes.In this paper, we explore how various factors related to the migration cycle, including returnees' displacement experiences and return conditions, are associated with reintegration outcomes.For this aim, we take a multidimensional approach to the measurement of reintegration.In addition to objective reintegration outcomes, measured by food security, we address subjective assessments such as feelings of reintegration.We focus on the unique case of returnees in Burundi and make use of a database consisting of a sample of 189 former internally displaced persons (IDPs) and 194 former refugees, which allows for a comparison of the reintegration of these two groups.The analyses highlight that objective and subjective reintegration do not necessarily align and that displacement experiences and return conditions relate to reintegration outcomes in different ways.Land and livestock ownership upon return are for example positively correlated with feelings of reintegration and subjective wealth, whereas community support is crucial to cope with food security.Moreover, we show considerable variation in reintegration outcomes between refugees and IDPs, with refugees showing more positive outcomes when individual characteristics are controlled for.This result calls for more in-depth research on the contextual and structural factors that elucidate the variation across groups going beyond individual level explanations.Overall, the findings emphasise the diversity in reintegration outcomes and identify the role of experiences during displacement and return conditions for the reintegration of refugees and IDPs.KEYWORDS Burundi, internally displaced persons (IDPs), refugees, reintegration, return migration 1 | INTRODUCTION Conflict-affected countries frequently experience large population movements when formerly displaced populations-internally displaced persons (IDPs) and refugees-return home.Recent years have shown a growing number of such examples.More than 5.7 million Afghans, a quarter of Afghanistan's population, returned to Afghanistan after 2002 (UNHCR, 2014a.Likewise, Bosnia welcomed 1 million returneesafter the 1992-1995 war, and more than 700,000 former refugees returned to Rwanda after the 1994 genocide.The voluntary return of displaced populations is often associated with a positive change towards "normality, peace, and stability" (Chimni, 2002, p. 163).The return of populations residing abroad also legitimises post-conflict states and enhances donor confidence (Black & Gent, 2006;Black & Koser, 1999).Repatriation is consequently understood as a "central pillar of peace processes" in a post-conflict environment (Black & Gent, 2006: 17).At the same time, however, the return of formerly displaced persons to conflict-affected areas is considered a potential threat to peace, especially when return flows are large, and security challenges may arise if returnees do not sufficiently reintegrate (Crisp, 2000).It is therefore pivotal to understand how conflict-affected countries experience return movements and under what conditions both refugees and IDPs reintegrate successfully.Because of the potential challenges associated with return movements in unstable contexts, the reintegration of displaced populations has become a priority for policymakers and receives increased academic interest.Despite this surge of interest, the reintegration of the formerly displaced populations remains an understudied phenomenon, with the exception of some qualitative studies (Arowolo, 2000;Ghanem, 2003; . Moreover, there are particularly few quantitative studies that include both former IDPs and former refugees and none to our knowledge that has looked at both objective and subjective dimensions of reintegration.This cannot be fully explained by the idea that migration research in the Global North overshadows research conducted in the Global South.Practical matters, such as the difficulty of collecting large-scale data in conflictaffected countries, also play a significant role in the persistence of this gap.However, those who have fled from war or political unrest may face additional challenges after returning to their origin country.Their migration experiences, the return conditions in a post-war area, and the challenges of reclaiming belongings may make it more difficult to reintegrate (Ruiz & Vargas-Silva, 2013).The reintegration of IDPs and refugees therefore needs particular attention. Despite data collection challenges, some studies have explored the reintegration of displaced populations using quantitative data.For example, Fransen, Vargas-Silva, and Ruiz (2017) studied the economic integration of returned refugees in Burundi and found that return households reported lower levels of livestock and lower subjective economic well-being.Similarly, Kondylis (2010) researched the labour market outcomes of displaced individuals (refugees and IDPs) in Bosnia and Herzegovina.Other studies focused specifically on IDPs.O'Reilly (2015), for example, studied the consumption patterns of returned IDPs in Uganda, and Verwimp and Munoz-Mora (2017) looked at food security and nutritional status of IDPs in Burundi.Overall, most studies compare returnees to non-returnees and find that returnees (either former IDPs or former refugees) are worse off than those who did not move during the conflict, although outcomes seem to improve over time. Comparisons between returnees and non-returnees have however been criticised as a comprehensive measure of reintegration (see, e.g., Black & Gent, 2006) and do not reveal why some returnees reintegrate while others do not.The constituents that underlie the reintegration process have received less attention, and it is particularly unclear what factors account for a "successful" reintegration.Moreover, as suggested earlier, studies often focus on singular and objective reintegration indicators, such as consumption and asset ownership, thereby disregarding the complexity of the reintegration process and its various components.

“the reintegration of the formerly displaced populations remains an understudied phenomenon, with the exception of some qualitative studies”
§ Who reintegrates? The constituents of reintegration of displaced populations > Abstract The reintegration constituents of displaced populations are understudied, despite increased attention being paid to return and reintegration outcomes.In this paper, we explore how various factors related to the migration cycle, including returnees' displacement experiences and return conditions, are associated with reintegration outcomes.For this aim, we take a multidimensional approach to the measurement of reintegration.In addition to objective reintegration outcomes, measured by food security, we address subjective assessments such as feelings of reintegration.We focus on the unique case of returnees in Burundi and make use of a database consisting of a sample of 189 former internally displaced persons (IDPs) and 194 former refugees, which allows for a comparison of the reintegration of these two groups.The analyses highlight that objective and subjective reintegration do not necessarily align and that displacement experiences and return conditions relate to reintegration outcomes in different ways.Land and livestock ownership upon return are for example positively correlated with feelings of reintegration and subjective wealth, whereas community support is crucial to cope with food security.Moreover, we show considerable variation in reintegration outcomes between refugees and IDPs, with refugees showing more positive outcomes when individual characteristics are controlled for.This result calls for more in-depth research on the contextual and structural factors that elucidate the variation across groups going beyond individual level explanations.Overall, the findings emphasise the diversity in reintegration outcomes and identify the role of experiences during displacement and return conditions for the reintegration of refugees and IDPs.KEYWORDS Burundi, internally displaced persons (IDPs), refugees, reintegration, return migration 1 | INTRODUCTION Conflict-affected countries frequently experience large population movements when formerly displaced populations-internally displaced persons (IDPs) and refugees-return home.Recent years have shown a growing number of such examples.More than 5.7 million Afghans, a quarter of Afghanistan's population, returned to Afghanistan after 2002 (UNHCR, 2014a.Likewise, Bosnia welcomed 1 million returneesafter the 1992-1995 war, and more than 700,000 former refugees returned to Rwanda after the 1994 genocide.The voluntary return of displaced populations is often associated with a positive change towards "normality, peace, and stability" (Chimni, 2002, p. 163).The return of populations residing abroad also legitimises post-conflict states and enhances donor confidence (Black & Gent, 2006;Black & Koser, 1999).Repatriation is consequently understood as a "central pillar of peace processes" in a post-conflict environment (Black & Gent, 2006: 17).At the same time, however, the return of formerly displaced persons to conflict-affected areas is considered a potential threat to peace, especially when return flows are large, and security challenges may arise if returnees do not sufficiently reintegrate (Crisp, 2000).It is therefore pivotal to understand how conflict-affected countries experience return movements and under what conditions both refugees and IDPs reintegrate successfully.Because of the potential challenges associated with return movements in unstable contexts, the reintegration of displaced populations has become a priority for policymakers and receives increased academic interest.Despite this surge of interest, the reintegration of the formerly displaced populations remains an understudied phenomenon, with the exception of some qualitative studies (Arowolo, 2000;Ghanem, 2003; . Moreover, there are particularly few quantitative studies that include both former IDPs and former refugees and none to our knowledge that has looked at both objective and subjective dimensions of reintegration.This cannot be fully explained by the idea that migration research in the Global North overshadows research conducted in the Global South.Practical matters, such as the difficulty of collecting large-scale data in conflictaffected countries, also play a significant role in the persistence of this gap.However, those who have fled from war or political unrest may face additional challenges after returning to their origin country.Their migration experiences, the return conditions in a post-war area, and the challenges of reclaiming belongings may make it more difficult to reintegrate (Ruiz & Vargas-Silva, 2013).The reintegration of IDPs and refugees therefore needs particular attention. Despite data collection challenges, some studies have explored the reintegration of displaced populations using quantitative data.For example, Fransen, Vargas-Silva, and Ruiz (2017) studied the economic integration of returned refugees in Burundi and found that return households reported lower levels of livestock and lower subjective economic well-being.Similarly, Kondylis (2010) researched the labour market outcomes of displaced individuals (refugees and IDPs) in Bosnia and Herzegovina.Other studies focused specifically on IDPs.O'Reilly (2015), for example, studied the consumption patterns of returned IDPs in Uganda, and Verwimp and Munoz-Mora (2017) looked at food security and nutritional status of IDPs in Burundi.Overall, most studies compare returnees to non-returnees and find that returnees (either former IDPs or former refugees) are worse off than those who did not move during the conflict, although outcomes seem to improve over time. Comparisons between returnees and non-returnees have however been criticised as a comprehensive measure of reintegration (see, e.g., Black & Gent, 2006) and do not reveal why some returnees reintegrate while others do not.The constituents that underlie the reintegration process have received less attention, and it is particularly unclear what factors account for a "successful" reintegration.Moreover, as suggested earlier, studies often focus on singular and objective reintegration indicators, such as consumption and asset ownership, thereby disregarding the complexity of the reintegration process and its various components.

The Conclusions (p. 18) report significantly lower livestock levels among returnee households and describe inactivity during displacement as one possible reason for the gap. Section 6 (p. 14) says the authors could not test whether past labor-market experiences affected current livestock levels. The citing sentence presents that tentative explanation as an established attribution. (LLM, conf=0.86)

The Data section (p. 10) reports respondents’ subjective assessments of their economic situation, but compares returnee and stayee households across both survey rounds rather than reporting improvement over time. The same section says there has not been much growth in livestock levels, which is a different measure. Searches for subjective wealth and changes between 2011 and 2015 found no passage establishing the claimed trend. (LLM, conf=0.76)

“The analyses demonstrate that various factors regarding the migration cycle are related to reintegration outcomes and that there are significant differences in the reintegration experiences of the formerly displaced in Burundi”
§ Who reintegrates? The constituents of reintegration of displaced populations > Abstract The reintegration constituents of displaced populations are understudied, despite increased attention being paid to return and reintegration outcomes.In this paper, we explore how various factors related to the migration cycle, including returnees' displacement experiences and return conditions, are associated with reintegration outcomes.For this aim, we take a multidimensional approach to the measurement of reintegration.In addition to objective reintegration outcomes, measured by food security, we address subjective assessments such as feelings of reintegration.We focus on the unique case of returnees in Burundi and make use of a database consisting of a sample of 189 former internally displaced persons (IDPs) and 194 former refugees, which allows for a comparison of the reintegration of these two groups.The analyses highlight that objective and subjective reintegration do not necessarily align and that displacement experiences and return conditions relate to reintegration outcomes in different ways.Land and livestock ownership upon return are for example positively correlated with feelings of reintegration and subjective wealth, whereas community support is crucial to cope with food security.Moreover, we show considerable variation in reintegration outcomes between refugees and IDPs, with refugees showing more positive outcomes when individual characteristics are controlled for.This result calls for more in-depth research on the contextual and structural factors that elucidate the variation across groups going beyond individual level explanations.Overall, the findings emphasise the diversity in reintegration outcomes and identify the role of experiences during displacement and return conditions for the reintegration of refugees and IDPs.KEYWORDS Burundi, internally displaced persons (IDPs), refugees, reintegration, return migration 1 | INTRODUCTION Conflict-affected countries frequently experience large population movements when formerly displaced populations-internally displaced persons (IDPs) and refugees-return home.Recent years have shown a growing number of such examples.More than 5.7 million Afghans, a quarter of Afghanistan's population, returned to Afghanistan after 2002 (UNHCR, 2014a.Likewise, Bosnia welcomed 1 million returneesafter the 1992-1995 war, and more than 700,000 former refugees returned to Rwanda after the 1994 genocide.The voluntary return of displaced populations is often associated with a positive change towards "normality, peace, and stability" (Chimni, 2002, p. 163).The return of populations residing abroad also legitimises post-conflict states and enhances donor confidence (Black & Gent, 2006;Black & Koser, 1999).Repatriation is consequently understood as a "central pillar of peace processes" in a post-conflict environment (Black & Gent, 2006: 17).At the same time, however, the return of formerly displaced persons to conflict-affected areas is considered a potential threat to peace, especially when return flows are large, and security challenges may arise if returnees do not sufficiently reintegrate (Crisp, 2000).It is therefore pivotal to understand how conflict-affected countries experience return movements and under what conditions both refugees and IDPs reintegrate successfully.Because of the potential challenges associated with return movements in unstable contexts, the reintegration of displaced populations has become a priority for policymakers and receives increased academic interest.Despite this surge of interest, the reintegration of the formerly displaced populations remains an understudied phenomenon, with the exception of some qualitative studies (Arowolo, 2000;Ghanem, 2003; . Moreover, there are particularly few quantitative studies that include both former IDPs and former refugees and none to our knowledge that has looked at both objective and subjective dimensions of reintegration.This cannot be fully explained by the idea that migration research in the Global North overshadows research conducted in the Global South.Practical matters, such as the difficulty of collecting large-scale data in conflictaffected countries, also play a significant role in the persistence of this gap.However, those who have fled from war or political unrest may face additional challenges after returning to their origin country.Their migration experiences, the return conditions in a post-war area, and the challenges of reclaiming belongings may make it more difficult to reintegrate (Ruiz & Vargas-Silva, 2013).The reintegration of IDPs and refugees therefore needs particular attention. Despite data collection challenges, some studies have explored the reintegration of displaced populations using quantitative data.For example, Fransen, Vargas-Silva, and Ruiz (2017) studied the economic integration of returned refugees in Burundi and found that return households reported lower levels of livestock and lower subjective economic well-being.Similarly, Kondylis (2010) researched the labour market outcomes of displaced individuals (refugees and IDPs) in Bosnia and Herzegovina.Other studies focused specifically on IDPs.O'Reilly (2015), for example, studied the consumption patterns of returned IDPs in Uganda, and Verwimp and Munoz-Mora (2017) looked at food security and nutritional status of IDPs in Burundi.Overall, most studies compare returnees to non-returnees and find that returnees (either former IDPs or former refugees) are worse off than those who did not move during the conflict, although outcomes seem to improve over time. Comparisons between returnees and non-returnees have however been criticised as a comprehensive measure of reintegration (see, e.g., Black & Gent, 2006) and do not reveal why some returnees reintegrate while others do not.The constituents that underlie the reintegration process have received less attention, and it is particularly unclear what factors account for a "successful" reintegration.Moreover, as suggested earlier, studies often focus on singular and objective reintegration indicators, such as consumption and asset ownership, thereby disregarding the complexity of the reintegration process and its various components.

“Differences between refugees and IDPs were apparent as well and became even more pronounced when individual characteristics were controlled for, suggesting that unobserved structural and contextual differences exist between both groups”
§ Who reintegrates? The constituents of reintegration of displaced populations > Abstract The reintegration constituents of displaced populations are understudied, despite increased attention being paid to return and reintegration outcomes.In this paper, we explore how various factors related to the migration cycle, including returnees' displacement experiences and return conditions, are associated with reintegration outcomes.For this aim, we take a multidimensional approach to the measurement of reintegration.In addition to objective reintegration outcomes, measured by food security, we address subjective assessments such as feelings of reintegration.We focus on the unique case of returnees in Burundi and make use of a database consisting of a sample of 189 former internally displaced persons (IDPs) and 194 former refugees, which allows for a comparison of the reintegration of these two groups.The analyses highlight that objective and subjective reintegration do not necessarily align and that displacement experiences and return conditions relate to reintegration outcomes in different ways.Land and livestock ownership upon return are for example positively correlated with feelings of reintegration and subjective wealth, whereas community support is crucial to cope with food security.Moreover, we show considerable variation in reintegration outcomes between refugees and IDPs, with refugees showing more positive outcomes when individual characteristics are controlled for.This result calls for more in-depth research on the contextual and structural factors that elucidate the variation across groups going beyond individual level explanations.Overall, the findings emphasise the diversity in reintegration outcomes and identify the role of experiences during displacement and return conditions for the reintegration of refugees and IDPs.KEYWORDS Burundi, internally displaced persons (IDPs), refugees, reintegration, return migration 1 | INTRODUCTION Conflict-affected countries frequently experience large population movements when formerly displaced populations-internally displaced persons (IDPs) and refugees-return home.Recent years have shown a growing number of such examples.More than 5.7 million Afghans, a quarter of Afghanistan's population, returned to Afghanistan after 2002 (UNHCR, 2014a.Likewise, Bosnia welcomed 1 million returneesafter the 1992-1995 war, and more than 700,000 former refugees returned to Rwanda after the 1994 genocide.The voluntary return of displaced populations is often associated with a positive change towards "normality, peace, and stability" (Chimni, 2002, p. 163).The return of populations residing abroad also legitimises post-conflict states and enhances donor confidence (Black & Gent, 2006;Black & Koser, 1999).Repatriation is consequently understood as a "central pillar of peace processes" in a post-conflict environment (Black & Gent, 2006: 17).At the same time, however, the return of formerly displaced persons to conflict-affected areas is considered a potential threat to peace, especially when return flows are large, and security challenges may arise if returnees do not sufficiently reintegrate (Crisp, 2000).It is therefore pivotal to understand how conflict-affected countries experience return movements and under what conditions both refugees and IDPs reintegrate successfully.Because of the potential challenges associated with return movements in unstable contexts, the reintegration of displaced populations has become a priority for policymakers and receives increased academic interest.Despite this surge of interest, the reintegration of the formerly displaced populations remains an understudied phenomenon, with the exception of some qualitative studies (Arowolo, 2000;Ghanem, 2003; . Moreover, there are particularly few quantitative studies that include both former IDPs and former refugees and none to our knowledge that has looked at both objective and subjective dimensions of reintegration.This cannot be fully explained by the idea that migration research in the Global North overshadows research conducted in the Global South.Practical matters, such as the difficulty of collecting large-scale data in conflictaffected countries, also play a significant role in the persistence of this gap.However, those who have fled from war or political unrest may face additional challenges after returning to their origin country.Their migration experiences, the return conditions in a post-war area, and the challenges of reclaiming belongings may make it more difficult to reintegrate (Ruiz & Vargas-Silva, 2013).The reintegration of IDPs and refugees therefore needs particular attention. Despite data collection challenges, some studies have explored the reintegration of displaced populations using quantitative data.For example, Fransen, Vargas-Silva, and Ruiz (2017) studied the economic integration of returned refugees in Burundi and found that return households reported lower levels of livestock and lower subjective economic well-being.Similarly, Kondylis (2010) researched the labour market outcomes of displaced individuals (refugees and IDPs) in Bosnia and Herzegovina.Other studies focused specifically on IDPs.O'Reilly (2015), for example, studied the consumption patterns of returned IDPs in Uganda, and Verwimp and Munoz-Mora (2017) looked at food security and nutritional status of IDPs in Burundi.Overall, most studies compare returnees to non-returnees and find that returnees (either former IDPs or former refugees) are worse off than those who did not move during the conflict, although outcomes seem to improve over time. Comparisons between returnees and non-returnees have however been criticised as a comprehensive measure of reintegration (see, e.g., Black & Gent, 2006) and do not reveal why some returnees reintegrate while others do not.The constituents that underlie the reintegration process have received less attention, and it is particularly unclear what factors account for a "successful" reintegration.Moreover, as suggested earlier, studies often focus on singular and objective reintegration indicators, such as consumption and asset ownership, thereby disregarding the complexity of the reintegration process and its various components.

The constituents of reintegration of displaced populations > Abstract The reintegration constituents of displaced populations are understudied, despite increased attention being paid to return and reintegration outcomes.In this paper, we explore how various factors related to the migration cycle, including returnees' displacement experiences and return conditions, are associated with reintegration outcomes.For this aim, we take a multidimensional approach to the measurement of reintegration.In addition to objective reintegration outcomes, measured by food security, we address subjective assessments such as feelings of reintegration.We focus on the unique case of returnees in Burundi and make use of a database consisting of a sample of 189 former internally displaced persons (IDPs) and 194 former refugees, which allows for a comparison of the reintegration of these two groups.The analyses highlight that objective and subjective reintegration do not necessarily align and that displacement experiences and return conditions relate to reintegration outcomes in different ways.Land and livestock ownership upon return are for example positively correlated with feelings of reintegration and subjective wealth, whereas community support is crucial to cope with food security.Moreover, we show considerable variation in reintegration outcomes between refugees and IDPs, with refugees showing more positive outcomes when individual characteristics are controlled for.This result calls for more in-depth research on the contextual and structural factors that elucidate the variation across groups going beyond individual level explanations.Overall, the findings emphasise the diversity in reintegration outcomes and identify the role of experiences during displacement and return conditions for the reintegration of refugees and IDPs.KEYWORDS Burundi, internally displaced persons (IDPs), refugees, reintegration, return migration 1 | INTRODUCTION Conflict-affected countries frequently experience large population movements when formerly displaced populations-internally displaced persons (IDPs) and refugees-return home.Recent years have shown a growing number of such examples.More than 5.7 million Afghans, a quarter of Afghanistan's population, returned to Afghanistan after 2002 (UNHCR, 2014a.Likewise, Bosnia welcomed 1 million returneesafter the 1992-1995 war, and more than 700,000 former refugees returned to Rwanda after the 1994 genocide.The voluntary return of displaced populations is often associated with a positive change towards "normality, peace, and stability" (Chimni, 2002, p. 163).The return of populations residing abroad also legitimises post-conflict states and enhances donor confidence (Black & Gent, 2006;Black & Koser, 1999).Repatriation is consequently understood as a "central pillar of peace processes" in a post-conflict environment (Black & Gent, 2006: 17).At the same time, however, the return of formerly displaced persons to conflict-affected areas is considered a potential threat to peace, especially when return flows are large, and security challenges may arise if returnees do not sufficiently reintegrate (Crisp, 2000).It is therefore pivotal to understand how conflict-affected countries experience return movements and under what conditions both refugees and IDPs reintegrate successfully.Because of the potential challenges associated with return movements in unstable contexts, the reintegration of displaced populations has become a priority for policymakers and receives increased academic interest.Despite this surge of interest, the reintegration of the formerly displaced populations remains an understudied phenomenon, with the exception of some qualitative studies (Arowolo, 2000;Ghanem, 2003; . Moreover, there are particularly few quantitative studies that include both former IDPs and former refugees and none to our knowledge that has looked at both objective and subjective dimensions of reintegration.This cannot be fully explained by the idea that migration research in the Global North overshadows research conducted in the Global South.Practical matters, such as the difficulty of collecting large-scale data in conflictaffected countries, also play a significant role in the persistence of this gap.However, those who have fled from war or political unrest may face additional challenges after returning to their origin country.Their migration experiences, the return conditions in a post-war area, and the challenges of reclaiming belongings may make it more difficult to reintegrate (Ruiz & Vargas-Silva, 2013).The reintegration of IDPs and refugees therefore needs particular attention. Despite data collection challenges, some studies have explored the reintegration of displaced populations using quantitative data.For example, Fransen, Vargas-Silva, and Ruiz (2017) studied the economic integration of returned refugees in Burundi and found that return households reported lower levels of livestock and lower subjective economic well-being.Similarly, Kondylis (2010) researched the labour market outcomes of displaced individuals (refugees and IDPs) in Bosnia and Herzegovina.Other studies focused specifically on IDPs.O'Reilly (2015), for example, studied the consumption patterns of returned IDPs in Uganda, and Verwimp and Munoz-Mora (2017) looked at food security and nutritional status of IDPs in Burundi.Overall, most studies compare returnees to non-returnees and find that returnees (either former IDPs or former refugees) are worse off than those who did not move during the conflict, although outcomes seem to improve over time. Comparisons between returnees and non-returnees have however been criticised as a comprehensive measure of reintegration (see, e.g., Black & Gent, 2006) and do not reveal why some returnees reintegrate while others do not.The constituents that underlie the reintegration process have received less attention, and it is particularly unclear what factors account for a "successful" reintegration.Moreover, as suggested earlier, studies often focus on singular and objective reintegration indicators, such as consumption and asset ownership, thereby disregarding the complexity of the reintegration process and its various components.

The paper relies on this without support.
Reintegration experiences of formerly displaced populations in conflict-affected areas remain poorly understood, and the factors that constitute a successful return are understudied.
“Despite the scale of return and the importance of the reintegration of formerly displaced populations in conflict-affected areas, reintegration experiences remain poorly understood.The factors that constitute a successful return are particularly understudied, and it is therefore unclear who reintegrates and why.”
The authors state this as an assumption.
Years of education obtained before migration is a valid proxy for predisplacement variations in economic well-being.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-10, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-10 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Cited sources are checked with a language model’s help (gpt-6-sol).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
