Item type:Publication, Transnational families in crisis context: Mobility and (non)family arrangements of Venezuelans in Peru(Universidad Pontificia Comillas de Madrid, 2024-01-01)Since 2016, Latin America has witnessed a massive migratory phenomenon of Venezuelans leaving their homeland to survive the crisis. These migrations, mostly individual, lead to the creation of transnational families characterized by a system of solidarity across the distance between the destination country and Venezuela. This article explores the formation, arrangements, and modes of organization of these families. Based on retrospective interviews with 51 Venezuelan migrants of both sexes settled in Peru, it analyses the various forms of transnational family and the limits in observing this concept. In addition to money transfers and communication between migrants and non-migrants, the research highlights two configurations of this type of family, in relation to the urgency of addressing food security concerns and the aspirations of other family members within this space of regional mobility. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Dinámicas y determinantes de la transición demográfica en Perú(Universidad Autónoma del Estado de México, 2024-03-19)La transición demográfica designa la reducción progresiva de las tasas brutas de la natalidad y de la mortalidad según ritmos diferenciados entre los países. El objetivo del artículo es evidenciar la periodización de este proceso en Perú, mostrando su tipificación entre los modelos identificados en América latina y caracterizando su heterogeneidad territorial. A partir de la información brindada por CEPALSTAT, los censos de población y las ENDES, se propone una delimitación temporal de la transición demográfica y un análisis de los determinantes del descenso de la fecundidad en torno a variables asociadas con la “modernización sociocultural”, como la expansión de la educación y el mayor acceso a la planificación familiar. Asimismo, la desagregación territorial de los resultados da cuenta de un desfase de dos a tres décadas en los ritmos de transición demográfica entre las áreas urbanas y rurales del país. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Siblings negotiations in the transnational care of non-migrant parents in Peru(El Colegio de la Frontera Norte, 2024-01-01)Based on fourteen in-depth interviews with Peruvian migrants living in Switzerland, the article analyzes the family arrangements between migrant and non-migrant siblings on behalf of their parents living in Peru. The findings highlight that decision-making is affected by power relations, where gender and economic resources play a decisive role. Sibling negotiations are also related to the capacity to fulfil the filial duty of taking care and feeling recognized as the son or daughter who takes care of the parents, just as the parents did when the siblings were children. While the sample covers a group of migrants settled in Switzerland who achieved important levels of social, cultural, and labor integration, the results provide insights on transnational care issues that are applicable to other South-North migration contexts. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Care and Transnational Families: Perspectives from Older Adults, Mothers, and Fathers of Peruvian Emigrants(Universidad del Pacifico Press, 2023-09-30)This article explores the organization of transnational care provided to older people whose one of their children lives abroad. Based on interviews conducted mainly with older mothers, it analyses the articulation between care received locally and at long distance, the practices they provide to care for family members, and their self-care activities to support themselves in an «independent» old age. The findings confirm the central role of families and, particularly of women, in ensuring a welfare regime for the older adult population and mitigate the effects of social unprotection. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Navigating Crisis: Violence, Mobility, and Gendered Experiences of Unaccompanied Venezuelan Adolescents(Taylor & Francis, 2025-01-01)This study examines the experiences of 14 unaccompanied Venezuelan adolescents (aged 15-19) migrating to Peru, using life course theory and biographical analysis. The research reveals three distinct groups: emancipated boys migrating for work, girls joining partners, and girls victimized by trafficking. Findings highlight gendered dimensions characterized by childhood violence, early emancipation, and mismatched institutional care. The study demonstrates how personal autonomy, peer networks, and family dynamics shape migration trajectories, challenging conventional life stage progressions. It contributes to migration theory by revealing the complex interplay between individual agency, family circumstances, and socio-economic factors in adolescent migration.2 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Educational differences and changing reproductive trajectories across three family generations of women in Peru(Austrian Academy of Sciences Press, 2026-03-04)This study examines how educational expansion shapes reproductive trajectories across three generations of Peruvian women. Using Peru's Demographic and Health Surveys (1986–2022) and biographical interviews with 66 women from 22 family triads, we integrate quantitative and qualitative approaches to reveal complex education-fertility relationships. Five key patterns emerge: educational expansion with fertility postponement, early fertility persisting despite educational gains, increased reproductive agency, evolving responses to reproductive vulnerability and changing life course sequences. While statistical analysis confirms the existence of educational gradients in fertility, biographical data show how structural constraints, cultural models and family dynamics mediate educational effects. The multigenerational Ageven matrix methodology visualises temporal dimensions that are invisible in aggregate statistics. The findings challenge assumptions about education-fertility relationships by showing how demographic transitions operate through family lineages in which educational gains coexist with persistent early childbearing patterns shaped by violence, economic precarity and constrained choices.1 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Education and Fertility Transition in Peru: A Cohort Analysis of Women Born between 1936 and 1984(Springer Nature, 2025-12-01)This paper examines the fertility transition in Peru, focusing on the cohorts of women born between 1936 and 1984 according to their educational level. Using data from the Demographic and Family Health Surveys (1986–2022), the study analyses completed fertility, birth order distribution, and median ages of key reproductive events. The results reveal a close relationship between educational level and fertility patterns, with persistent differences between educational groups. The completed fertility cohort decreased from 5.59 to 3.23 children per woman between the oldest and most recent cohorts, with more pronounced reductions in lower education groups. However, gaps between educational groups persist, aligning with Bongaarts’ “permanent differences” model. A general trend towards smaller family sizes is observed across all educational levels, but with substantial variations. Women with higher education show a pattern of later onset of reproductive life and greater fertility control. Although educational expansion has played a central role in Peru’s fertility transition, it has led to only partial convergence in reproductive patterns. These findings have important implications for public policies, indicating that effective interventions must address not only educational access but also the broader socioeconomic inequalities and cultural factors shaping reproductive decisions. Policies that combine educational expansion with improved reproductive health services, economic opportunities for women, and efforts to transform traditional gender norms would be most effective in addressing persistent fertility differences.6
