| Sumario: | The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the socioeconomic conditions of the immigrant population, and of the three more important groups -Venezuelans, Peruvians and Haitians-, is analyzed and compared with the Chilean population. For this purpose, a descriptive statistical analysis and an inference analysis are carried out using microdata on income and poverty from the 2015, 2017, 2020 and 2022 CASEN survey. The main results show that the Chilean and migrant population were unequally affected, from a socioeconomic point of view, by the pandemic. More specifically, Venezuelans, Haitians and Peruvians had already experienced a decline in their socioeconomic conditions before the pandemic, but the situation worsened due to COVID-19 and the political measures implemented by the Chilean government to hinder their contagion. |
