Item type:Publication, Medios de vida y estrategias de adaptación basados en la migración por familias afectadas por los deterioros ambientales en comunidades alto andinas «Ya no hay vida aquí; por eso se fueron.»(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Instituto de Ciencias de la Naturaleza, Territorio y Energías Renovables (INTE-PUCP), 2020-02-07)In Andean communities, many families whose livelihoods depend on farming and raising livestock are exposed to increasing degradation of their ecosystem and to food insecurity. The objective of this paper is to examine the extent to which families use migration strategies, based on multi residence and migratory circulation, to diversity their sources of income and mitigate the consequences of ecological degradation on their living conditions. The results are part of a socio-demographic research conducted in 2015 and 2016, which focused on domestic strategies for addressing environmental problems in a sample of 203 families living in five high Andean communities around Lake Titicaca. Most of families have migrant members and young adults between ages 20 and 35 represent the largest number of them. Nevertheless, their departuredoes not constitute an explicit form of adaptation to the ecological degradation. The quest for better conditions and opportunities in urban territories as well as interests related to their life stage and cycle, are the main determinants of their migration decisions. Despite the ecological problems affecting families, the desire for personal autonomy of the migrants is the main impetus for migration and there is no family organization based on multi residence and circular migration as an explicit livelihood for adaptation to environmental deterioration in rural areas. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Género, cuidados y responsabilidades familiares en las trayectorias migratorias de los jóvenes venezolanos(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Fondo Editorial, 2021)Este capítulo propone examinar los cursos de vida de los jóvenes venezolanos tomando como eje de análisis los conceptos de género y de responsabilidades familiares entre las generaciones a través de la migración de Venezuela al Perú. Algunos jóvenes, en particular hombres solteros y sin hijos, migran sin miembros de su familia o entre pares en la búsqueda de una migración «de aventura» y de soporte a su familia (padres, hermanos, tíos, etc.), mientras que otra/os jóvenes, en particular mujeres y madres solteras, migran con sus hijos pequeños para asegurarles un porvenir más estable en términos de salud, alimentación y educación. Entre estas dos situaciones polarizadas y recurrentes, se observa un espectro amplio de trayectorias migratorias en las cuales se plantean de forma variable las cuestiones de maternidad y paternidad, de arreglos familiares y de organización del cuidado entre el país de origen y el de destino. Si en todos los casos observados la preocupación por apoyar económicamente a los miembros de la familia quedados en Venezuela es constante, las distintas trayectorias familiares, reproductivas y sexuales son importantes para interpretar la diversidad de trayectorias y situaciones migratorias de los jóvenes venezolanos presentes en el Perú y, de forma específica, la búsqueda de un equilibrio entre la búsqueda de realización personal y las responsabilidades familiares. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Stressors, mental health and coping amongst forcibly displaced youth since the advent of COVID-19: A systematic review(SAGE Publications Ltd, 2025-12-01)Mental health is a key issue for forcibly displaced youth. The evidence base on the mental health of youth forcibly displaced since the start of the pandemic is undefined, as well as sources of stressors and coping approaches. This systematic review aims to identify literature on the mental health of forcibly displaced youth in low- and middle-income settings, with focus on displacement since the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic. Objectives are to examine (1) sources of stress, (2) prevalence and covariates of common mental disorders (CMDs) and (3) coping approaches. Six databases were searched in February 2023. Search terms focused on CMDs, stress and forcibly displaced populations. Articles based on data collected after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic focused on forcibly displaced persons aged 10-29 were included. Quantitative observation and intervention studies reporting CMD prevalences and related concepts were included, as were qualitative studies about stressors and/or coping approaches. Prevalences of CMDs and covariates were tabulated. Inductive thematic coding was conducted on qualitative data on stressors and coping. Interpretation of coping data was guided by a taxonomy including problem solving, support seeking, distraction/avoidance and positive cognitive restructuring. Twenty-one articles were included. Economic issues were the most prominent source of stress and led to subsequent stressors. Depression and anxiety symptom prevalence ranged from 6.2% to 77.4% and 17.2%–32.8% respectively. Problem-solving and support seeking were the most common coping approaches. Supporting the mental health and coping approaches of this marginalised group is critical to recovery in the post-COVID era.3
