VERGARA PARRA, Albano Blas. Migrations and spatial distribution: South American migrants in the Metropolitan Buenos Aires, 2001-2010. Estud. demogr. urbanos [online]. 2019, vol.34, n.2, pp.301-335. ISSN 2448-6515.  https://doi.org/10.24201/edu.v34i2.1800.

This article purposes to contribute to the knowledge of the patterns of settlement and spatial distribution of international immigrants, particularly the most dynamic migratory South American groups in the Buenos Aires Metropolis during the decade of 2000, based on an analysis in which the national population census of 2001 and 2010 are used as the main sources of information. The article shows the differences between the immigrant’s groups from Bolivia, Paraguay and Peru and the other international immigrant groups, in relation to their demographic dynamics, through the period 2001-2010. These three migratory groups have largely explained the flows of external immigration that occurred in the last decade in the metropolitan region. Also, the work shows that the concentrated-segregated spatial distribution of these groups not only did not change, but also deepened and reinforced even more during the analysis period.
