APARICIO, Carlos; PAEZ DE GONZALEZ, Luisa Damiana y RIVAS GOMEZ, Elfide Mariela. Venezuelan migrants in Monterrey, Mexico: vulnerability, socio-spatial distribution and social representations. Estud. front [online]. 2022, vol.23, e111. Epub 16-Dic-2022. ISSN 2395-9134. https://doi.org/10.21670/ref.2227111.
During the 21st century, more than five million people left Venezuela. Since 2015, Mexico has been a receiving country for Venezuelans. The objective of the article is to analyze vulnerability contexts, socio-spatial distribution and social representations of Venezuelan migrants in the Monterrey Metropolitan Area (MMA), Mexico. The fieldwork was carried out during the summer 2020, under pandemic conditions, using mostly digital platforms and information coming from various official sources. The methodology has a mixed approach, prioritizing the qualitative aspect. The used techniques were hierarchical evocation and mental maps for social representations, as well as a survey for socio-spatial distribution and vulnerability. Among the conclusions, family and friends’ networks stand out as support for the Venezuelan who arrives at the MMA, generally a prepared subject. The predominant vulnerability is related to finding stable jobs, accessing public health services and having quality education.
