Throughout successive periods of Paraguay's history, both internal and international migration flows had women as main protagonists, who moved for political, economic and social reasons. Among the main migratory flows are Argentina, Spain, Brazil and the United States, preferred destinations for Paraguayans who decide to migrate. The objective of this research was to analyze the labor segregation of Paraguayan migrants to Argentina and Brazil in the 2010 census round. To do so, based on the population and housing censuses of Latin American countries called Investigation of International Migration in Latin America, The migration pattern of Paraguayans was identified from 1980 to 2010. The research focused on a quantitative approach, with a non-experimental design; with a descriptive level, explanatory documentary type, since it sought to determine the degree of labor segregation in both countries. The method used was the statistical one, in order to calculate the degree of segregation with the dissimilarity index; and the analytical-synthetic to understand the relationships and underlying causes of Paraguayan migration to Brazil and Argentina. The results of the research show a dissimilarity index for women equal to 0.44 in domestic services, and 0.5 for men in quarries and mines. Therefore, it is concluded that to maintain an equal distribution of women and men in these activities, the entry of 56% more men into domestic services and 50% more women into quarries and mines is required.
