Description

This monograph delves into the general dynamics, causes, and impact of Venezuelan migration in the Caribbean, with particular emphasis on Trinidad and Tobago, shedding light on the multifaceted nature of this phenomenon.

Migration has been a defining feature of the Caribbean region's history, with its complex interplay of colonial legacies, economic opportunities, and socio-political factors shaping patterns of movement within and beyond the region. The Caribbean has been a hub of migration, marked by both internal and external movements, driven by various factors such as economic disparities, political instability, and the search for better opportunities. However, migration also poses challenges such as brain drain and strains on resources in both sending and receiving countries. As the Caribbean continues to evolve in a globalized world, understanding and addressing the complex causes and impacts of migration remains a critical task for countries, policymakers, academics, and communities alike. This exploration allows for greater insights and understanding of the responses and possible recommendations for tacking and addressing the Venezuelan migrant crisis.
