AGUILERA, Michael B. y CONTRERAS-MEDRANO, Diego. Colombian International Migration: The Impact of Information Networks on Migration. Migr. Inter [online]. 2022, vol.13, rmiv1i12462. Epub 09-Jun-2023. ISSN 2594-0279. https://doi.org/10.33679/rmi.v1i1.2462.
Data from the Latin American Migration Project (LAMP) collected in Colombia between 2008 and 2015 were used to establish the scarcely studied relationship between social networks and the destinations where Colombians migrate. A logistic regression was employed to predict these migratory destinations. The contribution of this research is that it tests whether social networks tied to a destination are associated with the likelihood to migrate there. The findings support the Social Network Theory and offer an improved measure of social networks. It is shown that in migration gender matters since flow and interactions vary between men and women. There is evidence that men receive a greater benefit from social networks.
