The runaway inflation rate, tax increases, the strict control of capital, the increase in Argentine company bankruptcies and the constant loss of value of the Argentine Peso, represent some of the factors that lead to increase in the Argentine immigration process to Brazil and other countries.[3]

A growing Argentine migratory movement exists of young people and families to neighboring countries such as Brazil and Uruguay, as well as to other continents.[4] The majority of the Argentine population is financially dependent on the state.[5] And the main reason to leave is to escape Argentine hyperinflation.[6]

However, following the recent Brazilian economic recession and the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil, many Argentinians left Brazil and returned to their homeland, heavily decreasing the immigration.[1][7]

Argentine people in the world

Most Argentines outside Argentina are people who have migrated from the middle and upper middle classes. According to official estimates there are 600,000 worldwide Argentine, according to estimates by the International Organization for Migration are about 806,369 since 2001. It is estimated that their descendants would be around 1,900,000. The first wave of emigration occurred during the military dictatorship between 1976 and 1983, with principally to Spain, United States, Mexico and Venezuela. During the 1990s, due to the abolition of visas between Argentina and the United States, thousands of Argentines emigrated to the North American country. The last major wave of emigration occurred during the 2001 crisis, mainly to Europe, especially Spain, although there was also an increase in emigration to neighboring countries, particularly Brazil, Chile and Paraguay.
