Аннотация:The aim of this article is to analyze the motivations for return migrations to Bolivia from Spain in a context of economic crisis. From the analysis of in-depth interviews with men and women in the areas of Cochabamba and La Paz, the decision to return home is proven to be embedded within relational gender dynamics. It is argued that the latter is the reflection of a patriarchal ideology that makes the difference when it comes to participation of both sexes in the economic and reproductive responsibilities taking place within the home in the societies of origin.
