Poverty and its relation to migration as a social problem

Abstract

Economic constraints affecting the poor, make this be subjected to terrible situations of hunger, poor health, lack of education, clothing, decent work and so on. Which added to the economic and financial constraints of the state to combat this major problem, makes we meet in our daily lives confronted with a permanent migration of our citizens to other countries, with the idea of finding a job that allows them to obtain sufficient income for the subsistence of his family.

This paper is a review of the main reasons that compel our countrymen to leave their place of birth to find new opportunities in life.Finding ourselves that this situation on the one hand favors our country in the sense of stabilizing our currency and revitalizing our economy in view of the remittances sent by migrants. And on the other hand immigrants are the most sacrificed in this adventure, suffering at the expense of their lives, their own family disintegration, the terrible marginalization and persecution which they are subjected.
