Well before the civil conflict of the 1980s, rural-urban
migration was an economic fact of life in El Salvador. Most rural
migrants were attracted to the capital, San Salvador. Yet
prospects for a better life were limited in the cities too, and
El Salvador did not experience a rush to urban migration on the
same scale as most other Latin American countries.
Data as of November 1988
