EMIGRATION AND WELLBEING, PHYSICAL AND MENTAL

Summary/Abstract: The article presents the results of a quantitative study on economic migrants,investigating whether they experience loneliness along with its causes andconsequences. The results are analysed within the framework of C. Ryff’s conceptof wellbeing, which takes into account six constitutive aspects. Due to datalimitations, only three aspects were examined: self-development, life purpose, andpositive relationships with others. The main conclusion is that these migrantsassess self-development and life purpose highly, but their social relationships fallshort of expectations, both in quality and frequency. This leads to loneliness formost migrants, which in turn may contribute to a deterioration in their health.
