Analysis of the impact of international migration on the socioeconomic conditions of migrants and their families in Peru, using data from the Latin American Migration Project, suggests that international migration contributes to individuals' socioeconomic well-being. While those who migrate tend to come from relatively privileged backgrounds in the first place, they gain further relative economic advantage by moving out of the country. A possible implication of this is that the growing international migration observed today is likely to exacerbate rather than ameliorate the already uneven distribution of income and rigid socioeconomic hierarchy in Peru.
利用拉丁美洲移民项目的数据，对国际移民对秘鲁移民及其家庭社会经济状况的影响进行分析后发现，国际移民有助于提升个人的社会经济福祉。虽然那些移民者一开始往往来自相对优越的背景，但他们通过移民到国外获得了进一步的相对经济优势。这可能意味着，如今观察到的日益增长的国际移民很可能会加剧而非改善秘鲁原本就不均衡的收入分配和僵化的社会经济等级制度。
