Aproximaciones a la Migración Colombo-Venezolana: Desigualdad, Prejuicio y Vulnerabilidad (Approach to the Colombianvenezuelan Migration: Inequality, Prejudice and Vulnerability)

Resumen

Spanish Abstract: La situacion politica, economica y social de Colombia durante decadas motivo la migracion de sus ciudadanos hacia el territorio venezolano, lo cual se acentuo con el conflicto armado. Venezuela que se caracterizo desde los anos 50 del siglo XX por ser un pais receptor de inmigrantes dejo de ser un destino atractivo a partir de los anos 80 por la crisis economica y politica que atraveso, epoca a partir de la cual pueden detectarse las primeras oleadas de migrantes venezolanos. Pero es a partir del ano 2015 cuando se evidencia un incremento de este fenomeno como consecuencia de la profundizacion de la crisis politica, economica y social experimentada por la sociedad venezolana y la pauperizacion de las condiciones de vida de gran parte de la poblacion; esta situacion ha convertido a Colombia en la opcion migratoria mas cercana y accesible para los venezolanos en busca de oportunidades. English Abstract: The political, economical and social situation of Colombia for decades caused the migration of its citizens towards Venezuelan territory, this was deepened by the armed conflict. Venezuela was characterized since the fifties as being a country that received immigrants, but ceased to be an attractive destination from the eighties because of the economical and political crisis that the country passed through, a time from which the first waves of Venezuelan migrants can be recognized. However it is from the year 2015 when a growth of this phenomenon is evidenced as a consequence of the deepening of the political, economical and social crisis that Venezuelan society was going through, leading to an impoverishment of life conditions of a large proportion of the population, a situation that has turned Colombia into the nearest and most accesible migratory option for Venezuelans looking for better opportunities.
