Resumen
VERDUGO MATES, Rosa María. International Migrations between 1990 and 2010: A Statistical Analysis of West Africa. Estud. Asia Áfr. [online]. 2022, vol.57, n.2, pp.355-400. Epub 06-Jun-2022. ISSN 2448-654X. https://doi.org/10.24201/eaa.v57i2.2737.
This paper describes the changes in international migration in West Africa, identifying the main countries of emigration and immigration in the region from the 1970s to 2010. After the 1973 crisis, West Africa has experienced an increase in intercontinental migrants: on the one hand, countries that were recipients of intra-regional migrants have emerged as senders of intercontinental migrants; on the other hand, the traditional countries of emigration are looking more and more to destinations outside the continent. Today, France is still the leading European country with the largest stock of West African immigrants, but since the 1990s, the United States and southern Europe (especially Italy and Spain) have seen an expansion of immigrants from this African region in their countries.
