52.015 - Latin American Experiences in Migration and Mobility: Why Did We Arrive? Why Did We Leave?

Session Type: Invited Speaker Session

Abstract

In general, Latin American countries are characterized by higher levels of exclusion, poverty, and inequality, and lower levels of primary education (J. J. Brunner & D. Miranda, Chile: CINDA, 2016). This problem is associated with other issues like migration and mobility, with people seeking opportunities both within country (urban-rural migration), and in other countries. We present three experiences in Latin America related to this problem.
