Economic factors are what drive the majority of Central Americans to immigration, according to a recent report. Over 90 percent of people surveyed from Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador who wanted to immigrate internationally said the main reason was unemployment, not enough money for basic necessities and food, the need for a better job, working conditions, or low wages, according to the Migration Policy Institute.
The lead researcher said economic reasons are not a new reason for immigration, but the numbers citing the reason are bigger than any other survey conducted before. Emigration from Central America has substantially increased over the past thirty years, by 137 percent. Close to 16.2 million from the region were living somewhere other than where they were born.
