*Emigration from Ecuador is a relatively recent phenomenon. | |||
*Eleven percent of Ecuadorians (1.5 million people) live outside Ecuador, primarily in '''Spain''' and the '''United States'''. Between 400,000 and 500,000 Ecuadorians were estimated to live in the United States in 2003; nearly 500,000 were estimated to live in Spain in 2005. | |||
*Ecuadorians have also settled in '''Italy, the Netherlands, France, and Canada'''. | |||
*Ecuadorian nationals are residents in more than 60 countries.[citation needed] | |||
*Early emigration from Ecuador was triggered by the '''collapse of Ecuador's Panama hat industry in the 1950s'''. Emigrants at this time often traveled to New York City, where many had connections with hat importers. | |||
*In the United States, Ecuadorians are most concentrated in '''New York City and New Jersey'''; approximately 90,000 Ecuadorians live in '''Queens, particularly in Corona and Jackson Heights'''. | |||
*During the late '''1990s financial crisis in Ecuador''', a mass migration to '''Spain''' occurred. The number of Ecuadorians in Spain climbed from less than 10,000 in 1998 to 200,000 in 2002 to over 500,000 in 2005. <ref>"Emigration from Ecuador", in Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emigration_from_Ecuador, accessed 13 June 2021.</ref> | |||
