Emigration and immigration sources list the names of people leaving (emigrating) or arriving (immigrating) in the country. These sources may be passenger lists, permissions to emigrate, or records of passports issued. The information in these records may include the emigrants’ names, ages, occupations, destinations, and places of origin or birthplaces. Sometimes they also show family groups. | Emigration and immigration sources list the names of people leaving (emigrating) or arriving (immigrating) in the country.

===Immigration to Ecuador=== | |||
Ecuador's population is ethnically diverse. The largest ethnic group (as of 2010) is the Mestizos, who are Amerindians with mixture or cultural influence from '''Spanish colonists''', and constitute about 71% of the population. | |||
*The White Ecuadorians (White Latin American) are a minority accounting for 6.1% of the population of Ecuador and can be found throughout all of Ecuador, primarily around the urban areas. | |||
*Ecuador's white population during its colonial era were mainly descendants from '''Spain'''. Today Ecuador's white population is a result of a mixture of European immigrants, '''predominantly from Spain with people from Italy, Germany, France, and Switzerland''' who have settled in the early 20th century. | |||
*Ecuador also has a small population of '''Asian origins''', mainly those from West Asia, like the economically well off '''descendants of Lebanese and Palestinian immigrants'''', and an East Asian community mainly consisting of those of '''Japanese and Chinese''' descent, whose ancestors arrived as miners, farmhands and fishermen in the late 19th century. | |||
*The '''Afro-Ecuadorians''' are a minority population (7%) in Ecuador. | |||
*5,000 '''Romani''' people live in Ecuador.<ref name="IE">"Ecuador", in Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecuador#Immigration_and_emigration, accessed 13 June 2021.</ref> | |||
