Public policies for the migrant Ecuadorian population: Towards transnational social protection?
Abstract
In the context of important migration flows this paper looks at how migrants and their families negotiate among formal social security systems and family strategies due to either limited or insufficient social security coverage. It identifies some of the public policies the Ecuadorian State has launched to protect its migrant population, as well as international agreements enabling the portability of rights. Social ties and the country of origin play a key role and this is reflected in particular strategies that combine the formal and the informal. At a macro level, the migration‐development nexus is put into question by pointing to the organization of social protection and reproduction among countries.
