description Using a unique database constructed through the merging of administrative recordsfrom Sweden and Finland, we provide the first detailed examination ofdifferential return migration risks by people's mother tongue within a givennationality. We analyze whether the divergence in return migration risk betweenSwedish-speaking and Finnish-speaking Finns in Sweden relates to host countryearnings, considering that the former group are in parity with native Swedes.Host country earnings and other background variables are found to explain only amodest part of the difference in return migration risk. Variation in the returnmigration risk of labor migrants is consequently not solely a result of earningsdifferentials.
