Abstract

Los datos del Proyecto sobre Migración Latinoamericana (LAMP) recopilados en Colombia entre 2008 y 2015 se utilizaron para establecer la poco estudiada relación entre las redes sociales y los destinos a donde migran los colombianos. Se utilizó una regresión logística para predecir dichos destinos migratorios. El aporte de esta investigación es poner a prueba si las redes sociales vinculadas a un destino están asociadas con la probabilidad de migración a ese destino. Los hallazgos apoyan la Teoría de las Redes Sociales y ofrecen una medida mejorada de las mismas. Se muestra que en las migraciones el género importa ya que los flujos y las interacciones difieren entre hombres y mujeres. Se evidencia que los hombres reciben un mayor beneficio de las redes sociales.
