Venezolanos en Costa Rica: entre el tránsito y el establecimiento. La etnoencuesta de inmigración reciente como aporte metodológico para el estudio de la migración en países de  llegada

Resumen

In recent years, Venezuelan migration to many Latin American countries has turned some cities in the region into places of transit and migratory stay. The objective of this article is to show the methodological and empirical contribution of the Ethno-survey of recent immigration in host contexts (LAMP-ENIR) 2021), focused on knowing the living conditions and migratory, labor and social history of people arriving to a country. The challenges and advantages of an interdisciplinary, longitudinal and multilevel project to access migrant populations in a city are discussed and made visible through the analysis of Venezuelans in San José, Costa Rica, where family adjustments, social networks and the migratory project are examples of the migratory complexity rarely shown in censuses and surveys.
