Venezuela: The Biggest Humanitarian Crisis That You Haven ' t Heard Of

ConclusionThe Venezuelan emigration crisis is going to worsen before it improves.   If the labor market and economic integration of Syrians refugees outside of Syria since 2011 can offer any lessons to South America, they are:Allow Venezuelans to legally work in host countries so that their employment and labor force participation rates rise.Deregulate labor markets generally because more legal work opportunities will reduce Venezuelan labor market competition with locals.  Legal employment reduces the net cost of social services and charity as well as increases feelings of belonging and contentment among the emigrants.Special thanks to Maria Rey for her help on this.
