Migración, pobreza y estigma social

Resumen

This article focuses on the social stigma imposed on migrants and on people who have become economically “useless” and depend on social benefits to survive. It discusses some of the mechanisms leading to such a social stigma, namely those connected to systemic doctrines –defined as a system of beliefs, values, social norms and social practices– that permeate the structure of a society and influence social interactions.
