HERRERA, Gioconda e PEREZ MARTINEZ, Lucía. Times of Crisis and Times to Return? Migratory, Occupational and Social Trajectories of Returning Migrants in Ecuador. Estud. Polit. [online]. 2015, n.47, pp.221-241. ISSN 0121-5167. https://doi.org/10.17533/udea.espo.n47a13.
This article examines the experience of Ecuadorian returnees from Spain in the context of the global crisis. The analysis is grounded on a multi-sited qualitative research among migrant families in Ecuador and Spain that looked at labor and social integration from a gender perspective. Migrant return is conceived as a process rather than as an event ending the migratory project. Findings suggest important gender differences, both in terms of labor insertion as well as social integration. Social and cultural principles acquired before migration are more relevant than the migration experience in explaining successful labor integration At the same time, social integration is related to an intense sense of identity and belonging reinforced by transnational practices.
