China has been facing the problem of illegal immigration,especially Fujian Province,where most Chinese immigrants come from.The problem of illegal immigration in Europe is still very prominent.Under the influence of humanitarian and EU immigration policies,more and more illegal immigrants choose to return to their countries of origin through Assisted Voluntary Program.In this situation,more and more Chinese illegal immigrants choose to return home through Assisted Voluntary Program.The social adaptation of voluntary returnees should be concerned,but there is little research on the social adaptation for the group returning home.Nobody cares the study of social adaptation service for this group.Therefore,this study is aimed at carry out research about the social adaptation service after returning to this group in order to find an effective service strategy to deal with this problem and improve the service system of illegal immigration in China.This research takes the strengths perspective as the theoretical framework of the research,and uses the case study method to study the social adaptation service cases in the voluntary return assistance program.Through the analysis of the data,there are several findings as follows:Firstly,the outstanding problems of social adaptation faced by illegal immigrants after returning China is not suited to living environment and social system,the confusion of integration and adaptation in local community life and the confusion of personal employment choice.They have the need to reintegrate into the community and to adapt to society.At the same time everyone has the ability to make the best choice for their own life and take friends and relatives as a major resource.Secondly,social adaptation service for illegal immigrants who returning voluntarily in China have three stages:1.the first stage of the two countries initially established cooperative relations;2.the second stage of expansion of local service content;3.The mature development period of service form and service content.Basic services include:counseling service for the living environment adaptation,supportive service for interpersonal adaptation,and developmental service for social roles adaptation.Thirdly,it is different between this kind of social adaptation service for illegal immigrants who returning voluntarily and the adaptation service for floating population.The differences is:1.Remote service is the main service form;2.To build online community is the service strategy;3.Multinational cooperation service is the service type.Fourly,the characteristics of this service require the involvement of social work service with cultural sensitivity and pay an attention on the impact of identity staggered.On the basis of the findings,the research make suggestions for improvement that is to build a network of local communities and social organizations and strengthen policy advocacy.The findings of this research will be conducive for experience of social adaptation service,find effective ways to improve the effectiveness of service,thereby reduce the resulting social problems.Because of the lack of research experience and the limitation of time,there is a few disadvantages in this research.For example,the scope of the study case is too narrow;interview is not deep enough;research data processing and analysis is not enough.It is hoped that I can make up for these insufficiency in further research.
