Percepción de los riesgos familiares asociados a la nueva ola migratoria, por covid-19 en adolescentes que cursan el bachillerato, en la Unidad Educativa Camilo Gallegos Domínguez, cantón Biblián del Cañar, periodo 2022

Abstract

In the past decades, the town of Biblian has shown migratory trends. The economic crisis caused by the confinement of the pandemic generated interest in understanding the effects of migration on the families that live in the area. While there is an interest to understand the impact of migration on a family as a whole there is a special interest placed on how migration affects family members who are going through adolescence.The objective of this research is to describe the perception of risks associated with the new migration trend caused by Covid19

experienced by high school adolescents enrolled in the Camilo Gallegos Domínguez Educational Unit located in the town of Biblian, Canar 2022. Furthermore, the research seeks to identify the risks of affective conditions within the family dynamic.The results reveal that migration is a multi-causal phenomenon, encompassing more than economic factors. Adolescents perceive it in an ambivalent way; on the one hand, they value the financial support they receive from their parents, but on the other hand, they express feelings of fear, sadness, or loneliness when seeing their family member leave. This perception is subjected to the existent relationship with the migrant family member. Interfamilial dynamics are different for each individual and their family context. Communication is key within these processes, as well as family reorganization and the strengthening of family bonds between those who reside in the country of origin.
