The brain drain in Argentina

2017-10-25 21:30:20 UTC

The brain drain is when profesionals and cientists who studied in their country emigrate to other places to work.
They migrate in search of a better work and better economic conditions, maybe because they wanted to grow in their career or they wanted to have freedom of expression. The brain drain is directly connected with the situation of the country.
Specifically in Argentina occured between 1960 and 1975, started mostly because of the political instability, the corruption and the bad economy. The most important cause of the emigration was "La noche de los bastones largos".
They migrate to Venezuela and Brazil, later to Mexico and France.

Why people came to Argentina during 1880-1930?

2017-10-26 01:16:08 UTC

In 1855 Justo José de Urquiza signed an agreement that said that the provinces will give to all people who came from other countries, especially from Europe, some territories suitable for cultivation, groceries, seeds, animals and working instruments because Argentina needed working people to increase its production. Some years later, a law that said that people who had been living in Argentina for two years can have their nationality, was dictated.

In 1906, due to all people who came to Argentina, because of the promise of work, peace and wellness, and to make more people to come, it began the construction of the Immigrants` Hotel that finishes in 1911. It provided free accommodation until they found a job, Spanish lessons, medical care and food.

The Paraguayan Inmigrants in Argentina, massive inmigration during the 50s

2017-10-26 02:44:58 UTC

K In 1947 there was in Paraguay a civil war. It cause several changes in Argentinian population, especially in Buenos Aires. 30.000 civilians and soldiers migrated to bordering countries including Argentina.

Nowadays there are more than 550.000 Paraguayans living in our country. Here the discrimination is a big problem for Paraguayans because not all Argentinias can deal with inmigrants. A lot of them are criticized because some people say they are increasing what we call 'villas miseria'. Is this entirely true? No. The Paraguayan people left their country for political reasons and most of them couldn't get back because they were already settled and here they could find a job. Lots of them work at contruction industries and a smaller part work for shoe industries.

Buenos Aires is the city with more Paraguayans in the world after Asunción, the capital of Paraguay.

Venezuelan Inmigrants on Argentina

2017-10-26 19:37:04 UTC

Due to both political and quality of life problems, venezuelan population travels to Argentina to stay either as students, workers, or living with other inmigrants, thanks to the ease of getting a tourist passport and becoming a permanent resident.
However, this is not true for all venezuelans: the price of plane tickets have been on the rise permanently, to the point a medium class family can't afford even one; and a lot of airlines, included Aerolineas Argentinas, have pulled out of service because of the poor maintenance of the airport.
Still, most of the venezuelan inmigrants travel alone, either ready for working (meaning they are already above 18 years old) or looking to enter an university inmediately.
