Análisis de la relación entre la migración venezolana y el mercado laboral en la ciudad de San José de Cúcuta (Norte de Santander).

Abstract

After the migration of the Venezuelan population to Colombia and borders from Cúcuta department, there has been a demographic increase in the search for employment alternatives that allow the support of family groups that enter to this country. However, the problem that frames the recent demand for labor, as well as the low supply for it, has forced not only workers from the neighboring country to offer their services at very low costs, which puts in check, Colombian employees who exercise their formal and informal employment in this department.

For this reason, the National Government together with the support of the local mayor's offices and governmental entities, has proposed different alternatives that allow the labor integration of Colombians and Venezuelans in this department. However, the migration of the Venezuelan population to Colombia and the low opportunities, has led to a higher rate of unemployment, also forcing Colombians to give away their labor.

The present work, seeks to analyze the opportunities and consequences of this migration to the Cucuta department, and its repercussion, around the high rate of unemployment that occurs in this department. For this reason, this document wants to focus on the knowledge of strategies proposed by the national government, to address this problem that is becoming stronger every day.
