This special issue does a comprehensive coverage of several topics related to return migration. It has adopted an interdisciplinary lens in understanding issues related to return migration thereby bringing in aspects of economics, law, social anthropology and political science. The studies contained in this special issue show not only policy gaps in supporting migrants in destination as well as origin countries when they return during this pandemic, but also identify the areas where further research and policy improvements have to be undertaken.
