Transformación educativa y estrategias de movilidad Vega Solís, Cristina; Gómez Martín, Carmen; Correa Álvarez, Ahmed El patrón migratorio entre Ecuador y España ha experimentado transformaciones desde el inicio de la crisis de 2008. A la ralentización de los flujos hacia España y el incremento de retornados ecuatorianos, se suma hoy la migración de españoles cualificados hacia este país para insertarse en educación superior, así como la salida de jóvenes ecuatorianos para adquirir títulos de posgrado en España y, en general, en Europa. El contexto de crisis y desempleo en educación en España, así como las políticas de reforma educativa que se están llevando a cabo en Ecuador se articulan en la conformación de esta circulación entre ambos países. A través de una metodología cuantitativa y cualitativa multisituada, basada en una encuesta y en entrevistas en profundidad, el presente artículo estima el volumen de estos desplazamientos y explora las motivaciones, condiciones y estrategias que los están influenciando.; The migration pattern between Ecuador and Spain has undergone changes since the start of the 2008 crisis. A slowdown in inflows to Spain and increasing Ecuadorian returnees, today add the Spanish skilled migration to this country in entering higher education as well as the exit of young Ecuadorians to acquire fourth level´s degree in Spain, or Europe in general. The context of crisis and unemployment in education in Spain and education reform policies being carried out in Ecuador is articulated in shaping this circularity between the two countries. Through a quantitative and qualitative multi-situated methodology based on a poll and in-depth interviews, this paper estimates the volume of these displacements and explores the motivations, conditions and strategies that are influencing.

Dicho vínculo fue labrándose durante la Guerra Fría, desde la ayuda, el respeto y una postura compartida frente a procesos de emancipación social. El presente artículo reflexiona sobre las implicaciones de la movilidad y las políticas de control migratorio de estas dos experiencias que, a pesar de sus distancias geográficas y diferencias históricas, desarrollaron proyectos políticos basados en la construcción de sociedades igualitarias bajo la ideología socialista.

We explore factors that make it difficult to change the place of residence—from here on denoted as constraints—reported in the Spanish survey on Attitudes and Expectations of Spatial Mobility in the Labour Force (N = 3892). These constraints were uniquely asked from all respondents through an open-ended question, regardless of their migration intentions. We find that many self-reported constraints correspond to factors that have previously been associated with decreased migration propensities. In order of frequency, respondents reported ties to family and friends, ties to their residential environment, financial limitations, and ties to work as constraints to migration. Our results further show that the likelihood of mentioning ties to family and friends as constraints decreased with age, was higher for women than for men and for people who lived close to most of their social network than for those who did not. Mentioning ties to the residential environment as constraints was positively associated with being partnered, and also with living in one’s birthplace. People who were unemployed were less likely to mention ties to work and were more likely to report financial limitations as constraints than people who had a permanent contract—whereas being self-employed was positively associated with mentioning ties to the residential environment. https://hdl.handle.net/10481/111079 https://hdl.handle.net/10481/111078 Internal migration, living close to family, and individual labour market outcomes in Spain Mulder, Clara H; Palomares Linares, María Isabel; Vidal, Sergi Migration is often viewed as a way to enhance occupational careers. However, particularly in Mediterranean countries, labour market outcomes may also depend on local family resources. We investigate how men’s and women’s labour market outcomes differ between (1) those who migrated and those who did not; and (2) those who live close to family and those who live farther away. Our main contributions are the investigation of the association between migration and labour market outcomes in a different context than the more commonly studied Northern and Western European countries and the United States, and of the role of living close to family in labour market outcomes. We used a sample of labour market participants from the “Attitudes and Expectations About Mobility” survey, conducted in Spain in 2019. Our results show that the likelihood of being a professional is greater for women who migrated than for those who did not, and that the likelihood of being unemployed or in a temporary job is lower for women who live close to family than for those who do not, but neither association was found for men. The finding for living close to family is in line with the notion that nearby family may protect women in particular from precarious labour market positions. The finding for migration differs from previous findings for Northern and Western Europe and the United States, which indicate that migration is beneficial to men in particular. This difference might be specific to a low-migration context, but data limitations prevent firm conclusions. https://hdl.handle.net/10481/111078 https://hdl.handle.net/10481/110867 Apoyo vecinal y características individuales y de barrio. Estudio de caso en Granada Palomares Linares, María Isabel; Mesa-Pedrazas, Ángela; Duque Calvache, Ricardo Numerosos estudios cualitativos destacan la importancia del apoyo vecinal en nuestras vidas. Sin embargo, cuantificar estas prácticas es complicado debido a la falta de fuentes específicas. Este artículo examina cómo se articula este apoyo y su relación con las características de las personas y los lugares donde viven, utilizando una encuesta del Instituto de Desarrollo Regional en el área metropolitana de Granada (2008) y modelos de regresión logística. Se analizan factores que explican la frecuencia de interacción y apoyo entre vecinos, así como los determinantes del aislamiento social y la alta integración en el vecindario. Los resultados muestran que tanto las variables individuales como las del barrio son significativas y contribuyen de manera diferenciada a la explicación de estos fenómenos. Además, se observan patrones espaciales distintos, con las zonas obreras y los municipios de la corona metropolitana mostrando mayor conexión vecinal que otras áreas de la capital.; Numerous qualitative studies highlight the importance of neighbourhood support in our lives. However, quantifying these practices is complicated by the lack of specific sources. This article examines how this support is articulated and its relationship with the characteristics of the people and the places where they live, using a survey of the Institute for Regional Development in the metropolitan area of Granada (2008) and logistic regression models. Factors that explain the frequency of interaction and support among neighbours are analysed, as well as the determinants of social isolation and high integration in the neighbourhood. The results show that both individual and neighbourhood variables are significant and contribute differentially to the explanation of these phenomena. In addition, distinct spatial patterns are observed, with working-class areas and municipalities in the metropolitan crown showing greater neighbourhood connectedness than other areas of the capital.
