Case Study Question:  The urbanization and population in Peru


Today, migration and border control has gradually become a vital political problem. Most host countries are seriously thoughtful that they were regard as the loose borders to flow undisclosed migration and are becoming issues of police order. In Peru, there is a keen immigration from both southern area countries and Latin America countries. In recent dilemma, the immigration rate is unexpectedly increased even in the situation of open borders to cause urbanization; the flowing numbers of the immigrant are scarcely unchanged and there is a belief of no migratory renewal is required.


In latter-day, the case study of effects of urbanization shown the disparity and history of Peru had mainly focused on ancient genetic markers and the loci that influencing altitude suitability (Modiano, et al. 1972). The disparity of ecologic, linguistic and topographic in Peruvian had constituted an important message of these factors in the graphical explanation of genetic diversity. Tomayo (1994) and Pozzi-Escot (1998) discovered that a number of mother tongues falling into a minimum of 18 different language families are communicating in Peru. Specifically into details of Peruvian, it has a huge gap of genetic roles between population arose and genes flow. In this area, dispute has concentrated on the discourse and geographical importance for the sake of affecting genetic diversity among populations.


As a most general phenomenon, a large number of farmers migrate into the cities. Since all the way, lifeless agriculture, land policies modernization seldom offers numerous opportunities, the inner immigration and the developing industry are the only way to get more urbanization life. Hence, the study of this migration had indicated the psychological suitability of farmers to the hectic and stressful urban life, the insufficient of the salary employment compared to the movement of migrant and the impact development of craftsman in the self-employment sector. Planners had failed to deal with an urban growth and this had lead to most of the urban population have live in over poverty. In the eyes of those plentiful, the poor are perceived as suffering, morbid and violence. Traditionally, the Peru population has been classified into Indian, Mestizo and Caucasian; Indian constitute half of the population, while Bolivia and Peru are perceived as unique in South America as they occupy a large percentages of their population instead of Spanish. In conclusion, a lot of the Peruvian population are tend to urbanize and move in the city as well as those Asian and African countries which showing the higher economic development. However, the focal point is still based upon achievements of population.


Migration, fertility and death are the first factor to affect population. Unlike fertility and death, migration is not a concrete or measureable thing and it is really hard to define. Migration can improve the rates of urbanization and make most of the countries prosperity develop in the world. Everette, S. Lee (n.d) had carried out a research to demonstrate migration has achieved an important and huge public relation portion recently. Wilbur Zelinsky (n.d) had proposed the theory of the transition of demography with a dimension measurement in space in order to link three factors of population change in his speculation of migration change. His outline explained the changing spatial mode in migration with changes in fertility as well as a death in society from a prior-industrial state to a post-industrial state. He speculated the hypothesis as only applicable on globally where the migration mode could be interrelated with fertility and death.  From Ronald Skeldon (n.d), his main point in study is to figure out the minor area in the southern part of Peru to look whether a certain dimensional and temporal composition of migration could be determined. He is relying the theories and principles of migration thereby he is focusing on the movement within the elder generation.



Over the four decades, Lima’s population had tremendously increased tripled to roughly 1.8 million but decreased gradually on the year of 1993. Several factors have been indicated for the rapid growth, in Peru, the two awful factors come to the whole levels of growth of population and the entire level of urbanization. Therefore, the population growth rate gradually declined a 0.2 percent annually in the 1950’s. This tendency exactly happened as the same way as Latin America. Besides, regarding to the norm of urbanization, numerous migrants came from the suburb areas, the ratio of the population living in suburb areas fix the population of migrating who taking risk. More than these, in Peru, there is enormous economic and political issues have influenced towards urbanization. Population problems generally related to migrant’s settlements, for example, high speed of urban growth and rural to urban migration, both of these are really important to creating a habitat. In the discussion forum, globally recognized specialists in this sector, they provide the contacts among dynamics of population, urbanization and migrant settlements as well as giving guidance in policy. But within urbanization, that is not either good or bad. In constructing the natural urbanization, the main tactic is to reserve, full use of and provide benefits into the urban whereas manipulating those aspects are consider harmful.



To the relation of social mobility, social stratification of Peruvian trapped among middle class. Due to the lack of experimental studies, Latin America had ignored Peru. The most obvious characteristic of this layer had being so called ‘scilicet multiple professionalism’. The ‘notion’ of multiple careers could gain popularity as a college professor, a government position for both entitlement and reputation as well as many other jobs which related to government postal salary. Generally, Peru’s middle class stratification is comparably distinct from western country, it also constituted up a majority of government employees or a big overseas firms. The independent businessmen are not many and they commonly stay abroad in their motherland; most of them are Chinese even their nationality are Peruvian. While for the urban lower class stratification, their most remarkable problem is unsuccessful to intensify. In the case of the urbanization of Latin America, it is different from the West, it weaken the objection of low class stratification so practical that the intensification could be claimed to be happened. In the eyes of middle and upper stratification of Lima, the lower class villagers are perceived as slovenly mass. However, these poor villagers are highly omitted as a huge numbers of volunteers and researchers who are going to discover soon.




In the third world, economic development is gradually increase with the urban growth. The growth of urbanization have two factors, the first one is rural to urban migration while another one goes to the phenomenon increase of the city population. In spite of the high birth rates leading the recent source a vital factor in the world as third rank urban growth, rural to urban migration perceived as even more important in the third rank world rather than it developed in those growing countries. Such migration is considered as the radicalization study by demographic specialists, economists and other related researchers. Based on Fields, G and Schultz, T (n.d), they had work out the experiments in this sector that had regarded the rank of third world migration countries, it seems to be economically stable with both rural and urban migrants move into the urban by the foreground of better living norm. Theoretically, there is an important behind research is that since the driving force of rural to urban migration is expecting to gain the income in a sense of probability, high unemployment rate in the urban is unnecessarily to stop migration if the salary in the modern city sector are clearly higher than remuneration of agriculture sector.

Specifically, Indians population constitute a small portion of population in Peru. From the concept of distortion, Indian plays a different role in size and populations, many of them contain depopulated areas due to the desert or mountains. Some of them live in the locational point and that is why the populations may be varies in terms of quality and quantity. Peruvian state is often incomparable, there is no different in the census part which involved in both city and rural populations although these always make a major distinct in ethnicity and language. In Peru, the urban population is significantly more than the rural that percentage proportion for the state indicated the urban area only in spite of the state contain most rural areas. Besides, the eastern-forest area is a boundary, there is a part of uncultivated Indians surviving in tribe and also part of the people are being controlled under Peruvian law and at the same time protected by military. Based on the geographical map, most of the Indian population staying in state show that a large percentage of Indians population are focalized in the hill parts of southern and in the central of Peru as well as in the eastern part, whereas the Caucasian and Mestizos are primarily stay in the north and also along the shore.




The latest urban development had expanded throughout the global. Little (1973) claimed the population migration had tremendously increased from rural to inland areas. It has aroused both theoretical and practical issues of how populations are directed into the city surrounding. Research had conducted in urban to proposed local associations, organizations and migrants had formed via mutual regions of pure history take over the vital role in this process whereas they allow modernity to occur within an ancient part. According to case studies in Peru, Maingin (1959) and Doughty (1969, 1970 & 1972) have accumulated acceptable evidence to support the explanation. They claimed that the organization has two main roles, the first of it is to moderate the frightening the impact of urbanization; offering the arrived migrant with a cordial environment. Specifically, Doughty (1970) considered the organization as rural gathering area in the city. Secondly, the organization not merely provides the rural migrants to a new fresh life but also enhance the native people a state of modernity through their declared objectives of native land improvement. However, Jongkind (1974, pp.472-473) regarded that the organization are merely institutions in the city, those whom are well born in the urban; need some adaption to the new place they live and he also claimed that the organization are majorly concerned with social welfare instead of the native land communities development. Hence, two disputing interpretations of the organization migrant’s role in urban of Peru have been seeking forward in nowadays. This study have supporting evidence with vary perspectives, a schema is established which can methodically occupy for these differences, it involving the transforming functions of the organization to the evolution stage of population migration for the specific communities of origin. The organization is not a rural gathering place in the urban or a genuine city institution but it is a short term period in the urbanization process.




In conclusion, the case study showed that the urbanization and increased social stratification differences are somehow interrelated with industrialization. Urban offers skilled workers for more and more interdependent and concentrated in labour. No matter how, both industrialization and urbanization are unnecessarily to proceed at the same time. Certainly, the mobility of people to the urban are excessively short in supply the system’s volume to provide careers. Even they are jobs opportunities for the skilled migrants, but majority of the labour are inexperienced. The poor had become significant prove to the economy as well as social uncoordinated. But still, discrimination happen within the slum hierarchy and also take place in everywhere. So far, differentiation is obviously indicated in Peru; roughly one quarter of the urban population survives in minor regions where most of the slum being discovered. Maybe, this is the pure generalization which may applicable to everyone, for those slum; they are numerously indicated by their discrepancy rather than their resemblance. Hence, instead of merely viewing organization as rural or states gathering place in the urban, the regional association is more important to reflect out the process of urbanization as it is an indispensable part of a transformation from a pure rural society to a dominating urban.
