Retorno migratorio y género

Abstract

Investigating the relationship between migration return and gender was the aim of this research through knowledge of the causes and identification of the gender perspectives of migrants. This was consolidated through the joint investigation. The results were tested and combined through the DEXPLOS sequential exploratory design, which facilitated the cross-over and combination of results. From the quasi-informative predictions resulting from the life stories narrated, two questions were elaborated and applied through the informal qualitative interview unveiled to the sample of 70, 35 men and 35 women from returnee families as father and mother of the family, out of the results, a survey with closed questions was prepared and applied to 40 of the migrants' oldest children in compliance with the quantitative research. For the application of the techniques was determined the sample through the chain or nets, better known as snowball. The causes that led to the return of Ecuadorians who migrated to Venezuela were: economic violence and social violence. It was found that there is no link between migration and gender, despite the fact that, within the migration cycle at the time of employability, Ecuadorian women in Venezuela were hired to carry out domestic activities. When they set up their own businesses, they worked independently, generated income and combined their activity with that of housewife. The power relations were not established within the family context, but were evidenced in the same Venezuelan society within the labor field, the Ecuadorian woman specifically that of Picaihua was considered as labor for domestic activities. "To speak of the return of migrants from a gender perspective is to speak of the influence of power relations between men and women on the composition and characteristics of migratory flows" (Carretero, 2016.)
