Abstract

Towards the end of the nineteen eighties, the migration of labour force became a massive social phenomenon in Peru. Apparently, the operating conditions of the urban labour market, specially the drops of income and the high level of unemployment, have been the cause of the growing exodus of Peruvians to foreign countries. They leave the country seeking after a job that offer a high income. The available information allowed us to identify some special characteristics of the Peruvians in Milan. The Peruvian population in this city is mainly female and has a technical education or a professional education. However, in spite of the qualifications or previous work experience that these people might have, they take the job that offers them the best income possibilities. The search for a better income is the main reason for these Peruvians to leave their country. This situation is part of a family strategy to have or complete a family income.
