Elsa Ramos : if the structural generating causes of migration are not solved, there is nothing to put a halt to it

Abstract

At the center of the last decade, in 2005 to be exact, Universidad Tecnológica de El Salvador (UTEC) began to work on the topic of migration in a formal manner; it all started with an invitation from the United Nations Program for Development. This consisted of the cooperation in the preparation of the first chapter of the Human Development Report of the same year. That investigation was the basis on which many others were conducted; in sum, they have helped visualize the impact of this topic on the Salvadorean society since migration has no political party, religion, social stratta nor age, as pointed out by Elsa Ramos, one of the researchers at the Vicerectorship of Community Service and Research at UTEC. Here, what she reported in the interview with entorno.
