ABSTRACT

This paper examines the role of the first Korean immigrants to Paraguay. There is clear evidence that these pioneers made a considerable impact to the Paraguayan standard of living. To that purpose, the first section introduces the main thoughts about international migration. In the second part, it is narrated briefly the advent of the first generation of Korean migrants to Paraguay. Next, it is illustrated two main microeconomic impacts that were considered as a structural feature of the Paraguayan in the 70s. Furthermore, in the last section, it advocates three main features of the Korean community. Drawing on the evidence we can illustrate some conclusions about the impact and we can see that Koreans play a key role during the 70s, mainly in the welfare implications of Paraguayan poor and middle-class families
