HERNANDEZ FLORES, José Álvaro  and  RAPPO, Susana. Reproductive strategies and social capital formation in migration and peri-urban contexts. An analysis from the perspective of Pierre Bourdieu. Estud. demogr. urbanos [online]. 2016, vol.31, n.3, pp.697-727. ISSN 2448-6515.

This article draws on the notion of social capital, developed by Pierre Bourdieu, to examine the role of social practices designed to build such capital in shaping the reproductive strategies of domestic groups living in migration and peri-urban contexts.

The case studies described are used to analyze the main forms of accumulating social capital, their principles of activation, and their impact on the family and community spheres, as well as changes that have taken place as a result of the conurbation process and the intensification of the migratory phenomenon.

Keywords : social capital; peri-urban; reproductive strategies; migration.
