Analyzing the Main Determinants for Being an Immigrant in Cuenca (Ecuador) Based on a Fuzzy Clustering Approach

“…It seems that when societies become more prosperous, seniors tend to move to milder climate areas in which their cost of living is lower. This evidence is in line with the findings of [21,32,34], in which the main determinants for immigrants are not exclusively formed by the mild climate and proximity to the sea, but also for the beautiful landscape, culture, gastronomy and a good presence of commercial areas. For example, the pensioner migration from Great Britain to Tuscany has a long tradition, and the destination is selected because of its mild climate conditions, the seaside proximity, its beautiful landscape, high culture, and its great lifestyle immortalized with the concept of the Italian "dolce vita" [34].…”
