El Salvador fled to America during the civil war from 1979 to 1992, but also escaped to Canada and neighboring countries Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and Costa Rica. In the 1990s and early 2000s, the immigrants of the United States increased again due to the deteriorating economic situation, natural disasters (Hurricane Mitch in 1998, the earthquake in 2001) and family reunification. At least 20% of the population of El Salvador lives abroad. The remittances they sent home account for nearly 20% of GDP, which is the second largest source of external revenues after exports and helps to reduce poverty.
