Abstract

At present it has become evident that migration has grown significantly due to social, economic, and political problems, not only in Ecuador but in several countries such as Venezuela, in recent years this country has gone through a catastrophic economic crisis and this has led its citizens to leave the country in search of a better state of life for the migrant and his family; but upon arrival at their destination, they faced another problem, unemployment, which forced in some cases to beg and opt for other alternatives with the simple fact of surviving. The objective of this work was to "Analyze the situation of the Venezuelan migrant population living in Cuenca-Ecuador, who attend the institutions through a study of the migratory status that determines its incidence in the sociodemographic factors", with the collaboration of the "Casa del Migrante, Fundación Corazón Vino Tinto, Organización Uniendo Voluntades". The methodology used was quantitative descriptive, which contributed to data collection, the universe that was taken in this research is 75 Venezuelan migrants which were affirmed through a database provided by the Catholic University of Cuenca. The results showed that the migratory status has a direct relationship with the sociodemographic situations because the social factors and characteristics will depend on a current migratory status, which will allow them to access the free legal benefits provided by the State.
