Venezuelans in Brazil: integration with labour market and access to social safety nets

Abstract

This note focuses on understanding the impact of the interiorization programme on the livelihoods and employment prospects of Venezuelans who have opted to relocate from Roraima state to other federal units between April 2018 and December 2019. Brazil's legal framework allows for the inclusion of Venezuelans, regardless of their status, to work and access education and social protection services and so this note uses government administrative records to monitor the relocated Venezuelan population’s inclusion in Brazil’s labour market, education and social protection systems.
