“ANÁLISIS SOBRE LA INFLUENCIA DE LA MIGRACIÓN ILEGAL EN LAS COMUNAS DE LA PROVINCIA DEL AZUAY”

Abstract

Migration in Ecuador has been a historical process in the socioeconomic development of the country. However, the turn of the century came with a swift increase in the flow of migrants. In early 1999, an intense economic crisis prompted people to leave the country. For 2000, the United States, Spain and Italy received the first waves of Ecuadorian migrants, most from Azuay. This research is descriptive, which aims to identify the factors that led migration in the province of Azuay, comparing current findings with those obtained from the theoretical framework. The design of the paper is non-experimental quantitative, because it will be a statistical comparative analysis with dato of the INEC from 2001 and 2010 on population and migration aspects. Finally, it has a qualitative design because it is used the technique of the interview which corroborates that with the crisis experienced in the United States and especially in Spain, the migratory flow fell down, it has recovered and nowadays continues the exodus through illegal ways. Thus, regarding the migrants return, the international crisis of recent times stopped the departures and influenced their arrivals
