How can regularization programs
improve forced migrants’ resilience to shocks This paper
leverages panel data collected during the COVID-19 pandemic
to assess whether Venezuelan forced migrants who were
eligible for a regularization program in Colombia were more
resilient and less affected by the pandemic than similar but
non-eligible forced migrants. The results indicate that
access to the program promoted better health access for
eligible migrants, facilitating adherence to prevention
guidelines and increasing detection rates. Additionally,
eligible migrants had better housing and labor conditions,
relative to non-eligible migrants.
