The survey was carried out in the capital cities in the departments of Tumbes, La Libertad, Lima-Callao, Arequipa and Cusco, which together are home to 85% of the Venezuelan population in the country. The purpose of the survey was to provide reliable data on the living conditions of the Venezuelan population residing in Peru, including: demographic and social aspects, immigration status, discrimination, violence, health, employment, education, access to basic services, housing and home equipment.
