This paper seeks to analyse the determinants of access to formal employment for Colombian and Venezuelan forced migrants in Ecuador, taking into consideration the role of the availability of social protection services and/or the possibility of continued migration, drawing on fieldwork in an Ecuadorian city. In order to go beyond previous studies in Ecuador, which have thus far focused primarily on Colombian refugees, this analysis studies the formal sector and compares the experiences of Colombian and Venezuelan forced migrants and potential employers.
