Outward migration from Albania has been occurring on a massive scale (more than onefifth of the Albanian population lives abroad at any given point in time). Greece appears to be attracting a significant part of this movement. At the same time at least half of foreignborn migrants in Greece are Albanian. It appears, thus, that a strong “migration link” has emerged between the two neighbouring countries. In this paper we argue that any analysis that concentrates exclusively on either side of the picture is bound to overlook both the dynamic interactions as well as relative importance of the various constituent aspects. Hence we attempt to examine the migration track by opening a “window for analysis” offering a view on both countries simultaneously. Thus, we examine migration flows in the context of the changing economic environment in Albania, paying special attention to the labour market and living conditions. Then we examine evidence on migrants´ experiences from working and living in Greece, and finally we attempt to assess the main implications for the Greek economy.
