Population displacements from their place of origin to a different one, characterizes the 20th century and what goes from the 21st century. The ecological, political, economic crises and the increase in violence, give rise to people deciding to leave everything to bet on the unknown and place themselves in another place that guarantees a dignified life with a different lifestyle. Because of these problems, many citizens do not have a healthy life - physical, mental and emotional - (lack of access to medicines - especially vaccines - and food). Natural phenomena, as a consequence of the environmental crisis in the world, have highlighted the huge social gaps that characterize underdeveloped or developing countries. Thus, 21st century immigrants seek to integrate into the society they decided to reach and seek to improve their quality of life (decent work, good pay, healthy eating, access ...

The world is on alert and economies are on pause as a result of the protective effects against Sars-CoV-2, which has emerged as a new type of coronavirus called Covid-19, and is considered by the World Health Organization (WHO) to be a pandemic. The effects are absolute, but even more so on two aspects that should be highlighted: the impact on public health systems and the impact on economies around the world. During the months of January to July (2020), innumerable documents (news, articles, essays, reports, etc.) have been produced and have given us important updates of the virus’ impact in different aspects. This impact has been analysed from journalistic, academic, political, economic and medical approaches. For this reason, we are interested in approaching the impact of the pandemic in a different way; from the problem posed in the title of this document: the effects of obligatory...

The migratory phenomenon is one of the social problems with the most impact in the world today, as it alters the dynamics of societies of origin of immigrants but also those of arrival. Our analysis springs from the idea that migration must be studies from an ample perspective and not necessarily from a single discipline. In that sense, the present article aims to examine the theoretical perspective that social sciences have of the migratory phenomenon. This analysis helps to understand the characteristics of migration, as well as its effects. This work is composed of four parts. In the first one, we approach the study of migration from the disciplines within the social sciences; in the second, we analyze the integrated perspective for the study of migrations; in the third, we analyze the dimensions and repercussions of migration in social life; and finally, in the las part, we provide s...

The world is in crisis. Crisis is a term that accounts for some difficulty in the countries’ social dynamics. For this reason, the idea of the World-System crisis is set out to explain all the social variations, which emerge from situations that can’t be resolved until other exogenous factors intervene. Why this crisis occurs? and what does crisis consist of? The latter can be economic (currency devaluation, rising fuel prices, unemployment, low remunerations), political (international blockades, distrust in political parties and breakdowns of democracies), ethical (anti-values, anomie and corruption) and ecological (natural disasters due to climate change and environmental displacement); these are aspects which, in the following paper, are going to be analyzed in relative to one of the major problems nowadays: the transnational migration phenomenon. Consequently, our aim is to study...
