“…On the other hand, while the two variables related to return assistance programmes are significantly related to the propensity to be self‐employed, they are not correlated with the propensity to be salaried. This is consistent with the fact that the majority of these programmes are designed to help returnees to launch a business, as also highlighted by Alarcón and Ordóñez (). Moreover, the fact that the propensity to be salaried is not negatively correlated with return assistance programmes additionally suggests that those returnees who benefit from the programmes would have been unemployed, rather than salaried, had they not been beneficiaries.…”

“…It also shows that self‐employment can be associated with successful migration experience in certain contexts, while being the signal of a failure in others (Mezger Kveder and Flahaux, ). In the case of Ecuador, 30 per cent of the labour force is self‐employed (Serrano, ) and various studies such as Alarcón and Ordóñez (), Vasco () and Schramm () highlight the preference of returnees for this labor status. The in‐depth interviews conducted during the pilot survey as well as the numerous initiatives of return assistance including packages to help returnees to start small businesses also urge us to assume that self‐employment is an indicator of inclusion of the returnee in the socioeconomic system of the origin country.…”

“…Meanwhile, the study by Alarcón and Ordóñez (), based on a survey of Ecuadorian migrant returnees in the province of Loja – although very few of them with the Cucayo Fund competition – shows that training acquired abroad has only a relative incidence when making the decision to return and that, above all, having experience as an entrepreneur during the phase of migration becomes a highly significant factor for entrepreneurship once having returned.…”

“…iniciativas emprendedoras de los migrantes retornados(Alarcón y Ordóñez, 2015). En particular, si bien la migración de retorno puede aumentar el capital humano y financiero de los migrantes durante su estancia en los países de destino, es posible que las habilidades y conocimientos adquiridos no puedan aplicarse en los países de origen, por lo que algunas personas que retornan prefieren poner su propio negocio, aunque no siempre tengan éxito, debido a la falta de orientación y apoyo financiero e institucional(Tovar y Victoria, 2013).En general, no se percibe en la literatura que haya unanimidad de juicios acerca de los determinantes de la incidencia del emprendimiento entre los migrantes retornados.…”
