The volume of immigration, constant since the mid-nineteenth century to the end of the first quarter of the twentieth, meant demographically the Argentina population to double every twenty years. At the national standard, according to the 1914 census INDEC, children born out of Argentina accounted for 30% of Argentinas population. According to the census of that year in the City of Buenos Aires more than 60% of the population were immigrants, mostly of European origin, while in Rosario exceeded 47 percent of the population of the city in 1910 (Municipal Census Centenario) and 42 percent in 1914 (National Census) with the difference that 55 percent of all foreigners in the city were Italians. The southern city of Santa Fe went from a population of 9,785 inhabitants in 1858 to 222,000 in 1914, ie, experienced a population growth of 2,169 percent in just 56 years42 and in the provinces of Buenos Aires, Córdoba and Santa Fe 30% the population of these immigrants were europeos.43 However, the lack of a centralized settlement program and the entire cast of the rich land of the pampas altered the conditions under which migrants subject looked; placed before the alternative of rural lease contracts of very short duration-not more than four or five, in which the settler was required to till the soil, cultivate cereal and forage, and return to the expiration of the contract-planted many of them settle in the cities, especially Buenos Aires, his invariable point of entry. More than half of migrants settled in the City of Buenos Aires and in the province of Buenos Aires. Outside the coastal region of Misiones is highlighted by the high percentage of immigrants in their population; in the early 40s on a total population of 190,000 inhabitants, 80,000 (42%) were foreign, predominantly Poles, Ukrainians, Germans and rusos.44 By 1895, Argentinas population living in urban areas reached 42%, and by 1914 had exceeded half of the population, rising to 58%, higher than that of any European country with the exception of the UK and the Netherlands rate Netherlands. This relationship was due largely to immigrants; compared to their share of 30% in the population, in Buenos Aires were 50% - one million of the two that had the capital and other urban centers were becoming four out of five. These Italians predominated (68.5% of whom settled in Buenos Aires) and Spanish (78%); distribution is reflected in the social stratification of the future nation.

Railroad construction represented an important source of work, but many of them were dedicated to trade and crafts. The industrial sector recruited its key drivers including; of the 47,000 industrial census that recorded in 1914,31.500 were of foreign origin. This expansion of the urban population betrayed the widespread conception of the country as an agricultural reservoir: Always according to figures from 1914, only 29% of the workforce was employed in the primary sector, while industry provided jobs to 35% and services 36%. However, the small scale and manufacturing productivity, and lack of heavy industry gave these a relatively small share of GDP. Other activities were closely linked to the agricultural export model meat exports provided work for many workers in the Buenos Aires agglomerate.
