Abstract
- On the basis of data collected by the RETTRANS survey (2011–2012) on Bolivian migrants living in Spain, this article aims to identify the influence of the 2008 economic crisis on the determinants marking the migrants’ return intention. In this regard, there is a need to incorporate the concept of double embeddedness based on migrants’ social networks (meso level), the way migration is imbricated in persons’ lives (micro level); and how, at a macro level, economic and social transformations of different contexts affect these decisions. The article highlights that unexpected changes in living conditions trigger a reconfiguration of these mixed factors that condition return intentions. Resumen En base a los datos procedentes de la encuesta RETTRANS (2011–2012) sobre los migrantes bolivianos residentes en Espana, este articulo analiza la influencia del impacto de la crisis economica en los factores que explican la intencion de retorno. En este sentido, se discute la necesidad de incorporar el concepto de “doble imbricacion”, basado en las redes sociales de los migrantes (nivel meso), la forma en la que la migracion se imbrica en las vidas de las personas (nivel micro); y como afectan, a nivel macro-estructural, las transformaciones economicas y sociales de los contextos estas decisiones.
