Because of the crisis in Europe and the U.S., more and more Dominicans return to their homeland.
Every day, entire families arrive at the International Airport Las Americas in Santo Domingo.
Especially Spain has much to suffer from the crisis and is now plagued by high unemployment, especially among the youth.
Las Americas, Santo Domingo
Unemployment among the Dominicans there is even higher.
Firstly because many are there illegally, and because the level of education among Dominicans is very low.
They often work in small businesses such as beauty salons, barber shops, cafes, small restaurants or a car wash.
Many of them bought an apartment on credit.
Now that they are unemployed, they can not pay the mortgage and they are thrown out of their homes.
President Danilo has reached out the helping hand in the form of a plane ticket, to return.
Also in Sosúa (Charamicos and Sosúa Abajo) in recent months dozens of Dominicans have returned from Spain and the USA.
Previously they sent money every month to their families in Sosúa, now they have to held their hands up with their families.
