This study investigates the impact of human capital on the integration of Venezuelan migrants in Peru, considering decent work as a crucial mediator. The research involved a sample of 1,193 Venezuelan adults residing in Lima and applied Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling to examine the relationships among human capital, decent work, and integration. Findings reveal that human capital significantly enhances migrant integration, facilitating their participation in the labor market and contribution to the local economy. Decent work emerged as a key factor in promoting integration by providing economic stability and supporting social inclusion. However, Peru's high level of labor informality restricts migrants' access to formal and dignified employment, limiting the potential impact of decent work on integration. These results underscore the importance of policies aimed at labor formalization and the recognition of migrant skills, which could maximize migrants' contributions and foster social cohesion. This study provides insights relevant for policymakers in Latin America, particularly in contexts with high labor informality, to develop effective strategies for the integration of migrant populations.
本研究考察了人力资本对委内瑞拉移民在秘鲁融入情况的影响，将体面工作视为一个关键中介变量。该研究以居住在利马的1193名委内瑞拉成年人为样本，并应用偏最小二乘结构方程模型来检验人力资本、体面工作和融入之间的关系。研究结果表明，人力资本显著促进了移民的融入，推动他们参与劳动力市场并为当地经济做出贡献。体面工作通过提供经济稳定和支持社会包容，成为促进融入的关键因素。然而，秘鲁劳动力非正规程度较高，限制了移民获得正规和体面就业的机会，从而限制了体面工作对融入的潜在影响。这些结果凸显了旨在实现劳动力正规化和认可移民技能的政策的重要性，这有助于最大限度地发挥移民的贡献并促进社会凝聚力。本研究为拉丁美洲的政策制定者提供了相关见解，尤其是在劳动力非正规程度较高的背景下，有助于制定有效的移民人口融入战略。
