What migration policies do people in receiving countries want, and do humanitarian values matter? Our (w/@williamlallen @CVar_Sil) #openaccess @WorldDevJournal study uses a conjoint experiment in #Colombia to answer these questions: https://t.co/xpUp06Zr82 #polisciresearch (1/9)

Thanks to @OxUniPress’s John Fell Fund, @BritishAcademy_, and @WorldBank, and all who generously shared feedback throughout (too many to tag but listed in the paper!) We’re excited to extend this work to other countries that have also had recent experience with Venezuelans. (8/9)

It also opens new avenues for theorizing migration policy preferences in contexts where host and arrival groups share key sociodemographic markers like religion and language, which is more typical of forced migration situations involving neighboring countries. (7/9)

Overall, we show how preferences are multidimensional, and how values matter for some domains within policymakers’ reach. This is one of the first large-scale assessments of Colombian preferences towards Venezuelans after a regularization program was announced in Feb 2021. (6/9)

Respondents holding stronger humanitarian values were more likely to prefer the most open policy options compared to those holding more material values—but mainly in core areas involving life (healthcare), labor (employment), and loved ones. (5/9)

Colombians prefer placing conditional limits on Venezuelans’ abilities to work, bring family members, residency terms, and overall numbers. They also don’t like completely preventing Venezuelans from working compared to more flexible alternatives. (4/9)

We measured Colombians’ support for policy packages towards Venezuelans, comprising randomly-varied options about rights to accessing work, public healthcare, and bringing family, as well as limits on overall numbers, internal mobility, and residency terms. (3/9)

While much migration happens among low/middle-income countries, we know less about preferences in these regions despite large inflows having major economic and political impacts. These demands are likely multifaceted, and sensitive to citizens’ values and priorities. (2/9)
