Economic Studies journal, 2019, issue 1, 80-94

Abstract: The paper provides evidence about the future plans of Bulgarian migrants that use regular bus lines to travel to the European destination countries. The analysis utilizes data from a questionnaire survey conducted in 2018 among 305 migrants interviewed at the major nodes of the international bus transport infrastructure in Bulgaria. The future plans of these migrants are focused mainly on: (i) continuing their life in both home and host countries or (ii) searching for options to stay abroad for a longer period. In the same time, non-negligible shares of respondents (iii) still hesitate about their future plans or (iv) have expressed intentions to stay permanently in Bulgaria. Using multinomial logistic regression model, a set of variables that reflect: (a) socio-demographic status, and (b) the migration experience have been tested for potential significant effects on the choice reflecting the individual future plans of respondents.
