Description
Summary:The Covid-19 pandemic has brought with it various effects on the daily life and living conditions of migrants in the Coquimbo Region. This article, based on the results obtained in the framework of the regional study "Migratory Situation in the Coquimbo Region, in the context of the Pandemic", seeks to understand the effects related to labor precariousness and, consequently, the growing difficulty for migrants to access housing in a highly exclusionary housing market, In the face of which alternatives arise as subsistence mechanisms within an informal housing market that means living in highly densified spaces and in overcrowded conditions, or the arrival to self-construction territories such as "land seizures" and "housing camps".
