Abstract

Since 2001, international immigration has progressively increased in Chile, and since 2010 the country of origin of immigrants has diversified. There has mainly been an increase in the number of people migrating from South and Central America, and from Colombia, Haiti, and Venezuela particularly. Using 2015 Socioeconomic Characterization (CASEN) survey micro data, this paper analyzes the demographic, socioeconomic and labor conditions of the population of these three countries in comparison to the Chilean and total immigrant populations. Results show that immigrant populations are extremely diverse, and that some foreign populations in Chile are under a great risk of social exclusion. © 2019 Migraciones.
