Afghans constituted the second largest group of asylum seekers to Europe and Norway in 2015, and the majority of minors arriving to Norway. Norway as well as other European countries prioritize measures that can reduce immigration from Afghanistan and encourage assisted return, while at the same time returning rejected asylum seekers to their first country of arrival or back to Afghanistan. This takes place as Pakistan is increasing the pressure on Afghan refugees to return, and there is an increase in security induced internal displacement in Afghanistan. The main questions for our three sessions on the migration day are: Why do so many Afghans leave a country that have received substantive security and development support for the last 15 years? What can research tell us about migration, the information and motivation for return and how sustainable the return is? What are the experiences of integration in Norway, what are the challenges and what has worked?   


Part one of this event deals with the question of why so many Afghans leave.
