Spanish term or phrase: primerizos casados
La presencia de mujeres y de clases medias es mayor en el flujo latinoamericano que en el africano. Sin embargo, ambos flujos tienen también rasgos comunes en los que resalta la importancia de la familia y la influencia del control migratorio. Dos de estos rasgos comunes son el dominio de los primerizos casados, si bien de diferente sexo en uno y otro flujo y, el reconocimiento de la facilidad y progresivo endurecimiento en la entrada.
