The experience of internal migration among young university students in Lima

Qualitative research that seeks to describe the experiences of internal migration of young university students to the Peruvian capital. It allows us to learn about the formation of their identity, their personal motivations and the influence of their family and social environment, which could favour their decision to migrate. It is also possible to discover the strategies that these young people can develop to adapt to a new environment and how important a support network can be.
