Qualitative research is ideal to understand shared individual stories within its natural context. Since the aim of this study was to understand Ethiopian youth’s decision in their natural setting, we used the qualitative approach. Qualitative research helps researchers to stay closer to their data. Therefore, qualitative interviews and FGDs conducted with youth who were potential irregular migrants or returned irregular migrants who were planning to re-migrate irregularly.

Ethics statement
A committee at the School of Social Work at Addis Ababa University (Ethiopia) granted permission to conduct this research. All of the youth voluntarily participated in the study. Before an interview, each youth was given a consent form to read; the form indicated the purpose of the study, participants' rights, and how the data might be presented in the final report as well as other publications. Four interview participants indicated they were not willing to be tape-recorded, so only notes were taken in those instances.Comments
