Research on Venezuelan migration has primarily focused on humanitarian crises andimmediate socio-economic impacts, with limited attention given to the complex dynamicsof labor market integration and regional economic policies. However, understanding thesedimensions is essential to addressing the broader implications of migration on hostsocieties. To fill this gap, this article explores the economic integration of Venezuelanmigrants in South America, emphasizing labor market dynamics, public resource pressures,and policy responses. Grounded in migration and labor market theories, the study employsa mixed-methods approach, combining secondary data from regional organizations withempirical findings from national reports in Brazil, Colombia, and Peru. The resultsdemonstrate significant contributions by Venezuelan migrants to critical industries such asagriculture, construction, and services, while also identifying persistent barriers, includinglegal restrictions and labor market informality. As a contribution, this article provides acomprehensive analysis of regional migration policies and offers actionablerecommendations to enhance economic integration, supporting long-term development andresilience in host countries.Keywords: Venezuela Migration, Economic Integration, Labor Market Dynamics,Migration Policy, South America.
