abstract: 'Ecuador became the third largest receiver of the 4.3 million Venezuelans
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
who left their country in the last five years, hosting around 10 per
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
cent of them. Little is known about the characteristics of these
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
migrants and their labor market outcomes. This article fills this gap by
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
analyzing a new large survey (EPEC). On average, Venezuelan workers are
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
highly skilled and have high rates of employment, compared with
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ecuadorans. However, their employment is of much lower quality,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
characterized by low wages, and high rates of informality and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
temporality. Venezuelans have experienced significant occupational
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
downgrading, relative to their employment prior to emigration. As a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
result, despite their high educational attainment, Venezuelans primarily
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
compete for jobs with the least skilled and more economically vulnerable
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ecuadoran workers. Our simulations suggest that measures that allow
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Venezuelans to obtain employment that matches their skills, such as
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
facilitating the conversion of education credentials, would increase
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ecuador''s GDP between 1.6 and 1.9 per cent and alleviate the pressure on
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
disadvantaged native workers. We also show that providing work permits
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
to Venezuelan workers would substantially reduce their rates of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
informality and increase their average earnings.'
