DETERMINANTES DE LA GESTACIÓN EN MUJERES MIGRANTES VENEZOLANAS: ANÁLISIS BASADO EN LA ENPOVE

Abstract

The sociopolitical crisis in Venezuela has triggered massive migration to countries like Peru, where reproductive-aged migrant women face significant barriers to accessing reproductive health services. These conditions expose this group to maternal health risks and complications during pregnancy. To identify the social, economic, and health determinants influencing the pregnancy experiences of Venezuelan migrant women in Peru, using data from the Venezuelan Population Residing in the Country Survey. A cross-sectional, analytical, and retrospective study was conducted using secondary data. Descriptive, bivariate, and multivariate analyses were performed to explore associations between sociodemographic, health variables, and pregnancy. The main determinants associated with pregnancy were age (p<0.001), educational level (p=0.003), and marital status (p<0.001). A higher prevalence of pregnancies was observed among younger women, those with lower educational attainment, and those in stable unions. Employed migrants were more likely to be pregnant compared to unemployed women (p<0.001).
