Project

A critical analysis of domestic labour mobility in the context of international sports events in Brazil.

This research project analyses the drivers, dynamics and human development outcomes of recent Peruvian low-skilled labour mobility in Rio de Janeiro in the context of the global sports events in Brazil; the 2014 World Cup and the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. It examines within a broader framework of local, national and regional migration and development processes and policies in general and the world sporting events in particular, the extent to which this geographical mobility is leading to economic, social, or cultural mobility among migrants and their (transnational) families.
