De migrante a empresario. Una pesadilla a una realidad.

Abstract

Abstract: The studies on entrepreneurship and migration have been the subject of study. The following article analyzes from the sociological and economic view, the relationship between these two variables in the Loja canton, Ecuador. Faced with the crisis in the European country, the governments of Ecuador and Spain propose return programs, linking entrepreneurship as a means of social and economic reintegration for the migrant in Ecuador. Through surveys directed at migrants, information was obtained on: demography, causes for which they decided to migrate, remittances, return project. The third part of the migrants, already had the project to undertake before returning, to their arrival, the economic panorama did not favor the migrant, for what, 42% managed to obtain self-employment or entrepreneurship. The human and financial capital allowed to acquire physical capital to undertake, the migrants who did not undertake decided to acquire movable and immovable goods, and to the consumption. Therefore, migrants are not entrepreneurs; the institutional environment, the lack of public-private financing and the uncertainty in the future about Ecuador, make the migrant businessman a nightmare and a reality called re-migration.
