[Demographic dynamics, migrants from bordering countries and economic activity in Buenos Aires]. / Dinamica demografica, migracion limitrofe y actividad economica en Buenos Aires.

PIP: The growth and changes--by age, sex, and place of birth--in the structure of the total population of the Buenos Aires metropolitan area and of the subpopulation over 15 years of age and economically active are analyzed for the decade of the 1980s. Study of the economic participation of migrants and its possible influence on levels of employment or unemployment should be carried out within the framework of changes in the population's structure and economic participation. The 1981 and 1991 censuses and the Permanent Survey of Households were the sources of data. Immigration to Argentina has declined considerably in recent years, but it is still a factor in the population growth of metropolitan Buenos Aires. Between the 1981 and 1991 censuses, the population aged 15 and over grew by 10.9/1000, or a total of 827,806 people. Migrants from bordering countries increased in number (by 85,109, or 10.3%) and in proportion to the total population (from 3.9% to 4.6%). Migrant women increased at the highest rate (30.1/1000). The greatest growth occurred among men aged 40 and over and among women aged 35 and over. The growth of the economically active population over age 15 for different groups of national origin, sex, and age showed much greater heterogeneity. In 1991, women from bordering countries represented 3.8% of all women in metropolitan Buenos Aires but 5.7% of the total economically active female population and nearly 7% of the economically active female population aged 35 and over. Women from neighboring countries were responsible for 10.3% of the growth in the economically active female population aged 30-34 and 40-44 between 1981 and 1991. The absolute and relative increases in migrants from neighboring countries and their greater economic participation tend to increase the general level of economic activity.^ieng

[Trying to seize the unseizable: the dimensions of immigration in Argentina since 1945]. / Tratando de asir lo inasible: las dimensiones de la inmigracion en la Argentina entre 1945 y el presente.

"Preliminary results of a current project on migration in Argentina 1945-1988 are presented here, in four series: legal residents...(including those who obtained permanent residence through amnesty); net immigration...on the basis of census information on alien residents (1947-1980) less the deceased in the period; balance of entries and departures...of aliens (where every incoming alien is an immigrant and every outgoing alien is an emigrant); finally, net migration...on the basis of census data for 1945 and 1980 is estimated. The figures obtained are evaluated. This set of series is of variable consistency, mainly due to the progressive loss of quality in the basic data towards the end of the period considered."
