Venezuelská migrace a její ekonomický dopad na kolumbijský trh práce

This bachelor’s thesis examines the effects of Venezuelan migration on the Colombian labor market, focusing on the period from 2014 to 2023. The theoretical part describes the economic and political crisis in Venezuela, the socio-economic context of Colombia, and a review of existing research on the topic. The second part of the thesis focuses on the scale and demographic structure of Venezuelan migration to Colombia – particularly the geographic distribution, age, gender, and education levels of migrants. The third, analytical part addresses the impact of migration on unemployment, informal employment, and wage developments across different sectors. The analysis is based on secondary data from Colombia’s national statistics office DANE, the World Bank, and the International Labour Organization (ILO), and is complemented by insights from academic literature.
