          Abstract

          Los flujos migratorios pueden ser vistos como un mecanismo de inversión mediante el cual los individuos, y por ende los hogares, están dispuestos a sacrificar las condiciones en las que viven, apostando por mejores opciones en otro ámbito geográfico. Los flujos que se estudiaron en esta investigación corresponden a aquellos movimientos de personas en búsqueda de trabajo. Lo que se ha podido observar es que una parte importante de los inmigrantes no logran alcanzar sus expectativas una vez que se insertan en el mercado de destino. Adicionalmente se observó que el accionar de ciertos grupos sociales en Bolivia no responde, en la medida de lo esperado, a la inversión en capital humano de sus hijos.
