between 2002 and 2007, period that coincides with the beginning of the summit of the
economic growth, were explained fundamentally by the expectations of an improvement in
the employment and in the living conditions in the region of destination. Almost three
million Peruvians migrated inside Peru in these five years in search of a better life.

The region that attracted more migration, in terms relative to his total population, was
Madre de Dios event that turns out to be consisting with the "fever of the gold " of last
years of the above mentioned department. The working conditions, of legality and
sustainability of sayings enterprises are very debatable, but they are not contradicted by
the economic reality of offering income of short term better than the survival in extreme
poverty in the districts of origin.
On the other hand, the region that population expelled more in relative terms was
Amazonas (that lost almost 8 % of his total population), situation that coincides with the
climate of social conflicts that it made visible recently in the above mentioned department.

situation of extreme poverty that is registered in the above mentioned department. For
your part, Cajamarca, in spite of his mining boom, it has been located in the third place in
terms of expulsion of population density, and this is the so called severe one of attention to
the regional and local authorities that have not been investing with the sufficient efficiency
the enormous resources of the canon that receive.
Conclusion:
Nowadays Lima and Callao followed of Arequipa, Tacna, San Martin, Madre de Dios, La
Libertad, Moquegua and Lambayeque have a population migrante consolidated. While, the
regions that lost to the settlers' major quantity for the migration are Cajamarca, Puno,
Ayacucho, Huancavelica, Apurmac and Hunuco.
In the matter, Jose Dvalos, chief of the Mission of the OIM in Peru, said that though the
migration hospitalizes it has many positive aspects, also he has precipitated processes of
depopulation in the regions of origin of the migrantes, precisely the poorest of the country.

field and aging of his population provided that more young woman goes away in search of
better opportunities of progress ", it affirmed.
