    • To characterize the undocumented migrant population in Venezuela following a 1980 regularization initiative.
    • To analyze the impact of an amnesty program on the undocumented population.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of data from the 1980 Venezuelan regularization program.
    • Assessment of migrant nationality, geographic distribution, sex, and age.

  • Examination of educational status and occupational data of undocumented migrants.

    • Main Results:

    • A small number responded to the amnesty, but most undocumented migrants regularized their status.
    • Objective characteristics of the undocumented population became available for the first time.
    • Declining economic activity contributed to a temporary resolution of the illegal migration issue.

    Conclusions:

    • The 1980 amnesty and economic conditions temporarily reduced the undocumented migrant population in Venezuela.
    • The study provides a demographic and socioeconomic profile of undocumented migrants.
    • This regularization effort offered a unique opportunity to study migrant characteristics.
