dc.description.abstractThis study demonstrates that although Venezuelans are more educated relative to Peruvians and most of them have successfully entered the Peruvian labor market, they are mostly employed in low-quality jobs and with a degree of skills mismatch. Most of them are overqualified and have transitioned to more elementary occupations. Furthermore, four out of five Venezuelan workers are employed informally and their returns to higher education are lower than those perceived by Peruvians despite working more hours per week. In addition, we find that they have a significant participation in the digital economy, mainly in delivery platforms, and that two-thirds of Venezuelan workers send remittances abroad. Finally, the report concludes that whether refugees and migrants have the right to work at the level of his or her qualifications and capabilities depends on: (i) the regulatory process to validate their educational degrees, (ii) the migration policy and status, and (iii) the local attitudes towards Venezuelan migration.en
dc.description.abstractEste estudio demuestra que, aunque los venezolanos tienen un nivel de educación superior con relación a los peruanos y la mayoría de ellos ha logrado ingresar con éxito al mercado laboral peruano, una gran proporción de ellos trabaja en empleos de baja calidad y experimentan un desajuste de habilidades. La mayoría de ellos están sobrecalificados y han pasado a ocupaciones más elementales. Además, cuatro de cada cinco trabajadores venezolanos trabajan en la economía informal y obtienen menores retornos de la educación superior en comparación con los trabajadores peruanos, a pesar de trabajar más horas por semana. Además, encontramos que los trabajadores venezolanostienen una participación significativa en la economía digital, principalmente en plataformas de entrega, y que dos tercios de los trabajadores venezolanos envían remesas al extranjero. Finalmente, el informe concluye que el derecho de los migrantes venezolanos a trabajar en puestos de trabajo en congruencia con sus niveles de calificación y capacidad depende de: (i) el proceso de regulación para validar sus títulos educativos, (ii) la política y el estatus migratorio, y (iii) las actitudes locales hacia la migración venezolana.es
