Fall in population during the financial crisis

During the financial crisis, the Peruvian community decreased somewhat dramatically. In just one year, the Peruvian population in Spain decreased by 23.76%, a figure that places Peru as the country with the greatest dropout of official residents in that nation. The number went from 109,639 official residents in Spain, as of January 1, 2013, to 83,583, as of January 1, 2014. That is, 26,055 fewer Peruvians among the foreign population in the country, according to information disseminated by the National Institute of Statistics (INEI). [3]

The population has since recovered and increased since the end of the economic downturn.

Racism in Peru comprises negative attitudes and views on race or ethnicity which are related to each other, are held by various people and groups in Peru, and have been reflected in discriminatory laws, practices and actions at various times in the history of Peru against racial or ethnic groups. Peruvian intellectuals, who were mainly white and based in the developed capital city of Lima, historically denied that racism existed in Peru and did not focus on the social issue, often participating in racism themselves. The concentration of wealth amongst elites in Lima through centralismo resulted with a history of systemic racism in Peru, with individuals in Lima basing their discrimination against rural individuals due to race and geographical location.
