Abstract

Over the last two decades, migration has become a pivotal and often controversial phenomenon throughout Europe, with notable impacts on the societal structures of Albania and Greece. It presents a dual challenge, both politically and socially, instigating significant changes within these nations by affecting social hierarchies and cultural norms. This study delves into the intricate connections between migration, societal change, and the mobility of individuals, focusing on Albania and Greece from 1991 to 2013 as primary case studies. It investigates the assimilation processes and advantages for migrant populations and their host communities, amid the backdrop of globalisation and economic downturns. Through an examination of skill exchanges, shifting attitudes, and the circulation of intellectual capital between the two countries, the paper highlights the intricate nature of migration and its broader socio-economic repercussions.
