title: [Frontier migration and employment: facts and questions].
abstract: "Frontier labor migration in Argentina is closely linked with poverty and social exclusion.... The first part of this article concerns the impact of frontier migrants in the urban labor market on the basis of information collected by the Permanent Household Survey (EPH) in October 1993 and October 1994 in Greater Buenos Aires area, where, as per the last Population Census, over 50% of residents from frontier countries are settled. The second part focuses on the case study of Bolivian migrant workers who have found their own place in Argentine markets...in the field of vegetable-growing in the green belts surrounding bigger cities, sometimes including peddling of their product in urban areas by female family members."
