Perception of young schooled on the exodus of venezuelan migrants: analysis of xenophobic attitudes in border contexts from the subtle and the manifesto

Abstract

This research article addresses a phenomenon that in recent years has generated concern among researchers in the field of Social and Human Sciences due to the massive exodus of the Venezuelan population to Colombian territory. For this reason, the text aims to show the perceptions that young people in school have on migration from the subtle and manifest prejudice to this type of population. The study is approached from the quantitative - descriptive paradigm. A survey was applied to 616 adolescents enrolled in the tenth and eleventh grades during the year 2020 in various educational institutions of a border municipality with Venezuela. The results show that there is a radical refusal to establish close relationships with the migrant population in the social, family and work context.
