Abstract
Este artículo evalúa críticamente la relación entre la población migrante y el Estado, en particular la política social pública, tanto en el país de origen como en el país receptor. Se analiza la medida en que las familias migrantes nicaragüenses incorporan la protección social pública en sus estrategias de bienestar a ambos lados del sistema migratorio, Costa Rica-Nicaragua. Basados en dos grupos de datos cualitativos, se encontró que, en ambos lados de la frontera, las personas migrantes y sus familias evidencian prácticas mercantilizadas muy similares de estrategias de bienestar, donde esquivan al Estado y compran servicios en el sector privado.
This paper critically assesses the relationship between migrants and the state, and ublic social policy, in both sending and receiving country. We analyze the extent to which Nicaraguan migrant families on both sides of the Costa Rica–Nicaragua migration system incorporate public social protection in their welfare strategies. Drawing on two sets of qualitative data, we find that, on both sides of the border, migrants and their families display very similar commodified practices of welfare strategies, side-stepping the state and purchasing services in the private sector
