In 2014 we started social monito-
ring focused on examining trends and
migratory processes to urban centres
as a general problem, as well as disper-
sed rural communities in the
company’s area of influence.
The specific aims of the study are:
· To identify the main recent demo-
graphic trends in the area of influence
and the variables that tend to explain
mobility in this type of rural commu-
nity.
• To examine the aspects valued
by the resident population in the
area of influence in terms of the
supply of services and current
employment.
• To examine the degree of attach-
ment to the town and the inten-
tions to migrate to urban cen-
tres.
• To identify the motives that
could strengthen permanence
within the communities.
• To examine the training de-
mands and expectations of
young people in the area and
their families.
• To determine the socio-demo-
graphic features of the target
population and their families.
• This monitoring also includes
the study of the characteristics,
needs and satisfaction of the
human resources employed by
both the service providers and
the company itself.
