Systemic Consideration of Family Immigration: Results of Empirical Research

Abstract

In this article are presented the results of a research, which deals with the phenomenon of family immigration from Albania into Greece during the period of 1990-2005. The families are examined in successive stages of their immigration course. In particular, there are three stages: a) the stage of initial emigration, b) the stage of disruption and c) the stage of reorganization. The theoretical background of our research is based on systemic theory.
