- Vida Migrante: Venezuelan Migrants Inclusion in Ecuador is a research project analyzing the food - security, economic conditions, trade-offs and inclusion of recent Venezuelan migrants in - Ecuador. According to the R4V platform more than 500,000 Venezuelans are living in Ecuador in - 2022. Many of these migrants living in Ecuador struggle to meet their basic needs, during the - summer of 2022 the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) interviewed 920 migrants at 16 - cities locations to understand their experience. -
-- The results show that while Venezuelan migrants struggle to integrate into the Ecuadorian - economy due to factors such as legalized documents, there’s a strong willingness to pursue - trainings and programs to improve their economic situation. A mismatch of vocational skills and - attainable careers, coupled with insufficient resources to improve the employment opportunities - such as internet and trainings, has led to high food insecurity and an inability to integrate - into the economy. Nearly two-thirds of migrants put 75% of their income towards basic - necessities like food, rent and health and cannot afford to pursue opportunities such as - trainings to improve their economic situation. -
-- Migrants with regularized immigration documents or legalized professional accreditations earn - more on average than those without any. Similarly, migrants that found jobs matching their skill - sets were more likely to be food secure. -
-- Our findings suggest that policy assistances such as programs to regularize immigration - documents, legalize Venezuelan professional accreditations, or provide significant food - assistance would alleviate financial burdens and catalyze Inclusion into the Ecuadorian economy. -
-- To help understand the financial tribulations and difficult choices made by Venezuelan migrants - in Ecuador, we invite you to step into their shoes and live through four months of life events, - opportunities, and assistance through our mobile simulation. -
