Resumen

This research is based on a bibliographic review that seeks to provide a conceptual framework of the migration return from the scientific publications made in the last ten years (2002-2012) in order to understand the different aspects of this phenomenon and particularly the elements of psychological interest that accompany the process that goes from making the decision to return to the country until the reintegration of the individual to it. To this end, the concept of return migration was initially reviewed at the global level, the theories that explain the phenomenon, the typology, the factors or determinants of return, emphasizing the voluntary return, its economic, political and social impact and the migration policy formulated for its regulation. Subsequently, a review was made of the magnitude of return migration in Colombia, the investigative antecedents that have been advanced at the national level and the legal framework.
