Lithuanian emigres are increasingly choosing to return from abroad and settle in the country’s less populated regions. In response, the state Employment Service has created an interactive map with 50 indicators on housing, work, education, and other issues.
“We can see that this year, over 8,000 more Lithuanians have returned than left the country. It is also interesting to note that Lithuanians are returning not only to the big cities,” said Tadas Kubilius, head of Grįžtu.lt, a consultation and information centre for Lithuanian expats planning to return to Lithuania.
The positive trend has continued for four years in a row, with around half of those coming back choosing to live in the countryside.
