Abstract

TORRES, Víctor E. Paraguayans in Argentina: Propensity to emigrate and sociodemographic characteristics (2001-2010). Folia [online]. 2014, n.22, pp.89-114. ISSN 0325-8238.

This paper refers to the main characteristics of the paraguayan community living in Argentina, according to censuses carried out since 1869. In order to describe the current features of the process, the analysis is focused on the period between 2001 and 2010. Also, a binary logistic model is presented in order to estimate the propensity to emigrate from Paraguay to Argentina. Results indicate that the odds of emigration are higher in people between 18 and 30 years old, unemployed, single, and with no children. The data used is the one obtained in a survey carried out in Paraguay during 2008.

Keywords : Migration; Paraguay; Argentina.
