El presente trabajo analiza el papel que las estrategias de acumulación de capitales desempeñan a la hora de definir los itinerarios de movilidad social transnacional de la población migrante latinoamericana residente en España. Partiendo del Modelo de Acumulación de Activos (Moser, 2007), y adoptando una perspectiva transnacional, esta investigación utiliza datos procedentes de la Encuesta Nacional de Inmigrantes 2007 para determinar qué factores configuran las estrategias de inversión en activos puestas en marcha por la población latinoamericana para ascender en la jerarquía social, y cómo estos capitales se articulan a la hora de conceptualizar sus trayectorias de movilidad social. Los resultados muestran cómo, más allá de los indicadores clásicos de movilidad ocupacional, factores como el capital financiero o las relaciones sociales son igualmente determinantes en la definición de las estrategias de movilidad social trasnacional, constatando las complejidades que subyacen a las trayectorias geográficas y sociales de los migrantes latinoamericanos.
The aim of this project is to analyse the asset accumulation strategies and their implications on the social mobility of Latin-American migrants in a transnational space. On the basis of the Asset Accumulation Model (Moser, 2007), we aim to identify the main factors that determine the capital investment strategies of the Latin-American population, and to further study how the interaction between these strategies explain the social mobility trajectories. For this purpose, we use data obtained from the 2007 National Immigrant Survey in Spain (ENI 2007). Our results show that, apart from the classical occupational indexes, other factors such as financial capital and social capital play an equally important role in the transnational social mobility processes. In summary, these results highlight the complexity of the geographical and social mobility strategies of Latin-American migrants.
