| English abstract | This article describes the labor market insertion experiences of a group of professional Venezuelan immigrants in northern Chile. Using a qualitative methodology, fourteen people who met the inclusion criteria were interviewed. The participants' discourses show that their experiences have been stressful because they have not been able to revalidate their degrees, have to take on jobs for which they are overqualified, and suffer exploitation and discrimination. The stories are analyzed based on previous studies and related theory, finding that the main factor affecting this reality is the current Chilean immigration legislation, which has an orientation based on control and national security. It is concluded that the current immigration legislation facilitates immigrants' labor precariousness and contributes to their situation of vulnerability |
| Portuguese abstract | Este artigo descreve as experiências de incorporação de empregos de um grupo de imigrantes venezuelanos profissionais no norte do Chile. Os relatos dos participantes revelam que suas experiências têm sido estressantes por não poderem revalidar seus diplomas, tendo que assumir empregos por conta de quem é superqualificado e nos quais sofre exploração e discriminação. Conclui-se que os participantes tiveram uma ruptura no ciclo de vida que classificam como estressante e que a discriminação sofrida é amparada pela “política de imigração chilena”. Finalmente, futuras linhas de pesquisa são sugeridas e as implicações políticas são discutidas |
