educated workers facing poor employment conditions at home would prof it,
in particular, from a stay in the EU-27. In the receiving countries, these
young qualif ied workers would be a welcome supplement to the shrinking
labour force, slowing down the ageing process and rejuvenating the popula-
tion. When concepts of circular migration are realisable and returnees
bring capital, knowledge and networks with them, then the vicinity of the
MENA region and the EU could be a real win-win situation for both regions.
