Nearly half of Venezuelans are considering leaving the country in the coming months, poll says
“There’s always fewer people who leave than those who say they plan to,” he said. “A quarter of the population of Venezuela has left already, so it’s unlikely we’re going to see a massive flow overnight of people fleeing. It could be a continuous trickle over the next few years, not the massive outflow we once saw.”
The larger migration of Venezuelans happened between 2017 and 2019, when millions of people left mostly to other countries across Latin America.
Close to 3 million Venezuelans have now settled in neighboring Colombia and 1.5 million in Peru.
