abstract
Este proyecto busca identificar la existencia de discriminación laboral hacia migrantes venezolanos en Colombia, especialmente se busca identificar si esta discriminación es por gusto o porque en el imaginario de la demanda laboral en Colombia, los venezolanos estén siendo asociados a menores niveles de productividad, basándose en las características de ese grupo poblacional. Para ello es necesario ejecutar un experimento de campo, toda vez que es menester disminuir al máximo el sesgo de deseabilidad social que puede estar presente en la aplicación de encuestas.
This project seeks to identify the existence of labor discrimination against Venezuelan migrants in Colombia, especially to identify whether this discrimination is due to taste or because in the imaginary of labor demand in Colombia, Venezuelans are being associated with lower levels of productivity, based on the characteristics of that population group. To do this, it is necessary to execute a field experiment, since it is necessary to minimize as much as possible the social desirability bias that may be present in the application of surveys.
