Abstract

Venezuela has been facing economic problems for several years, its economy has been systematically degraded, day after day more businesses are closed, there are more unemployment and inflation has reached exorbitant figures, domestic and international investors have migrated to other countries and taken their capital, there are no guarantees for private property, no guarantees for free competition, scarcity is rampant, The rates of poverty and extreme poverty have increased exponentially and the loss of purchasing power of its currency has been left out of competition to the Venezuelan economy. The objective, then, of this article, is to strengthen a social analysis in matters of public policies to make a couple of social and political recommendations that guide a positive impact in the region. It was found that the Colombian government must adopt a comprehensive policy, where Venezuelan migrants are taken care of in all sectors, promoted by inclusion and mitigated xenophobia, a structural public policy based on constitutional principles and international treaties, prioritizing the value of human beings and life over other things.
