En este libro se analizan experiencias de otro...

... esta aproximación, que estimamos conservadora, en 2018 hay un total de 603.633 profesionales venezolanos, con títulos universitarios o estudios de postgrado, que se encuentran radicados en los cinco países seleccionados (28% en USA, 29% en España, 19% en Chile, 12% en Perú y 12% en Colombia como se indica en la Figura 3-13). El talento altamente calificado que ha migrado a estos países representa aproximadamente un 29% de la población total de migrantes. ...

... aún, mientras que en Venezuela el 8% de los trabajadores se encontraba trabajando en ocupaciones elementales, en el Perú esta es la situación para el 34% de los mismos 183 . Sólo un 2% de los inmigrantes venezolanos en Perú tienen ocupaciones como profesionales científicos e intelectuales (ver Figura A -30). Alrededor de un 30% de los venezolanos que en su país ocupaban puestos como profesionales científicos e intelectuales, ahora se ocupan en trabajos elementales o precarios. ...

... What began as a slow, economic-driven, and calculated decision limited to the middle class has become an urgent measure cutting across the entire social spectrum, a 'flight' no longer driven by the desire to improve personal living conditions but by the need to minimize the risk of staying, one of the trademarks of forced migration (Fischer et al., 1997). The migratory pattern that developed between 2016 and 2020 was characterized by unaccompanied men or women of productive age, diverse socio-economic backgrounds, and education levels, leaving by land with little planning or proper paperwork (Lafuente & Genatios, 2021). This trend is consistent with documented cases of rapid change that force families to send a member abroad to ensure the survival of the rest (Castles, 2000). ...
The deterioration of living conditions in Venezuela has triggered an unprecedented migratory crisis. More than seven million Venezuelans have fled the country. While a continental refugee crisis and an emergent diaspora have received attention, the local impact of emigration remains unexplored. Locally, emigration manifests itself as an ever-growing and unique vacancy. In Caracas, migrants’ left-behind domestic spaces are managed through relational, trust-based, and dynamic practices that revolve around their preservation and reinvention, implicating local actors in the migration process and creating new forms of transnational cooperation. This article examines emergent practices of care in Caracas. It presents an overview of the Venezuelan crisis and the disciplinary frameworks for examining the impact of emigration on urban development. Through interviews and photography, the research offers accounts of cuidadores and highlights their role in protecting and reinventing migrants’ domestic spaces. Preliminary findings show the important role that local actors play in supporting migration and the use of vacant spaces to satisfy local needs. These findings also suggest potential spatial and urban transformations taking place through practices of care and cooperation in a context of emigration and collapse.
This article examines the caretaking practices of vacant domestic spaces amid a migratory crisis and generalized collapse. Caracas is conceptualized as a 'city of aftermath', where the material residues of modernity are reconfigured in response to the logic of crisis and the needs of migrants, re-signifying spaces and extending their life beyond the conditions of their production. The text is centered on the figure of the caretaker. Based on interviews, site visits, and photography, the article examines the daily routines of Carlos, who looks after more than twenty apartments in Caracas. His work is entwined with migrants’ trajectories and local needs, generating new economies and support networks around the maintenance and adaptation of vacant spaces. In this way, caretaking practices offer clues for a reading of the city that transcends progress/decline oppositions and their respective imaginaries: the new and the ruin.
Se describen algunas de las causas que han dado lugar a una profunda desestructuración del SNCTI venezolano, viéndose tremendamente afectadas las capacidades nacionales de ingeniería tanto en las universidades como en la industria y los servicios. Luego, se presentan los resultados de la consulta realizada a empresas y universidades, los cuales permiten tener una primera visión sobre el sistema, mostrando la necesidad de proponer cambios significativos en la formación, la I+D+i y la práctica profesional de las ingenierías.
