In Fortsetzung zum gestrigen Beitrag (Link hier), ich schaue mir das an relativer Anteil der venezolanischen Migranten, die von Aufnahmeländern aufgenommen werden.
Bis 2017 beherbergten die USA mehr als 40 % der venezolanischen Migranten.
Nach der Massenflucht im Jahr 2018 verändern sich die Migrationsströme drastisch Kolumbien Und Peru Sie nehmen die Mehrheit der Migranten auf (~59 %), eine Situation, die auch heute noch anhält.

really shows how geographic proximity matters more than anything when crisis hits – people just go to closest stable place they can reach.
Spain has 400k Venezuelans. 3.4% of 7.8M is 265k, so it’s off. Plus, many that come here have Italian or even Spanish nationality so it doesn’t count.
The text on Peru is a little low contrast and difficult to read. But otherwise a fantastic chart
Beautiful graph, keep them coming!
Just a comment for perspective: 8 Million Venezuelan citizens (not including those more that moved illegaly), close to a third of the country, that were dissatisfied enough to leave. This third of the country was not allowed to vote in the last 2024 presidential election. And even without the dissatisfied third, Maduro still lost by a wide margin.
Is it really a ‚burden‘ when those countries largely benefitted from Venezuela’s migrants?

I’m on the move now, so I can’t check myself, but does the source include Curaçao and Aruba in its dataset?
Iirc last time they’ve estimated that about 9% of our (Cur) population consists of Venezuelan refugees since we have such a small population ourselves.
