\u201cThe Senegal-Valencia Region Migration Route and Its Impact on Origin and Destination\u201d is the title of the study that has analyzed the main causes of the migration route between Senegal and the Valencia region. The Miguel Hern\u00e1ndez University of Elche (UMH), through the Vice Rectorate for Internationalization and Cooperation, highlights that economic motivation is the primary driver of migration, fueled by a critical disparity in indicators of living standards, health, and education between the two regions.<\/p>\n

This research, led by Juana Aznar as principal investigator, is based on a preliminary analysis of Senegal\u2019s socioeconomic context, supplemented by semi-structured interviews with migrants residing in the Valencian Community, with the aim of gaining firsthand insight into their individual experiences and realities.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are realities right on our doorstep that we know nothing about. Senegal is 100 kilometers from the Canary Islands\u2014that\u2019s nothing; this leads us to examine why those who arrive in the Canary Islands do so, and it\u2019s important to analyze this,\u201d Aznar emphasizes. The report reveals a staggering economic gap: in 2023, Senegal\u2019s real GDP per capita was just 9.12% of Spain\u2019s. Poverty indicators and data on basic services reveal alarming figures regarding quality of life. According to the Human Development Index (HDI), Senegal ranks 169th out of 193 countries, placing it in the low development category.<\/p>\n
