SUMMARY:

Today, the world is experiencing the greatest migration crisis after World War II. The diaspora of Venezuelans is caused by the serious humanitarian crisis in which Venezuela is immersed in contemporary times. Within this context, we interpret the current diaspora through the case of Venezuelan health professionals who, when crossing borders to Brazil, are faced with a country bathed by economic and political crises and corporatist and bureaucratic practices make the process of recognition of their diplomas difficult. to work in the training profession. The objective of these professionals is to integrate themselves into the job market in the health area. Although practices that are hostile to qualified migrants prevent this from happening, new unregulated work alternatives in the health area have found the way for these Venezuelan professionals, as was the case of the company MV Sistemas, who, upon learning that there were qualified migrants from Venezuela among the welcomed in the state of Roraima, carried out a selection process with the aim of hiring Venezuelan professionals in non-regulated positions and “welcoming” them into the health job market. We had as a general objective to analyze the migration of Venezuelan health professionals to Brazil in order to interpret their integration process in the Brazilian labor market through unregulated means in related areas and activities. As specific objectives, we seek to reveal challenges present in the integration of qualified Venezuelan migrants to Brazil; identify which human capital resources enable the integration of Venezuelan migrants qualified in the health area into the labor market in Brazil and describe how the integration of Venezuelan health workers is taking place in the health management company that welcomed them. To achieve these goals, two theories were fundamental to interpret the case, the integration process of Ager and Strang and another on human capital and its resources through the studies of Ployhart et al. As the main research methodology, the simple case study was chosen because it is a research aimed at analyzing the integration of this human capital into a corporate market that is hostile to professionals graduated abroad. Our efforts have shown that hiring through non-regulated jobs can lead to the integration of the skilled migrant into the lost stability, the healthcare job market, and that fluency in Spanish and prior knowledge of the area are important assets that add value to migrant as an employee of the health area in the country of destination. In the same sense that integration into the labor market is possible, typical practices of corporatist capitalism devalue the work carried out by the Venezuelan professional, such as unfair remuneration. The integration of the Venezuelan health professional into the Brazilian labor market is achieved, but we reflect on how the receiving country needs to value more the human capital that qualified migrants bring with them, remunerating them fairly if hired through different means unregulated and encouraging the government to abolish bureaucratic practices to recognize the official documents of migrants, giving them the right to carry out their former jobs in the country of destination.
