PY - 2024 Y1 - 2024/10/02 DO - 10.18235/0013281 AB - Urban migrants in Latin America and the Caribbean are significantly less likely to own homes compared to residents, with demographic factors accounting for about one-third of this homeownership gap (HOMG). Compared to local residents, migrants tend to have less living space and fewer housing amenities like rooms and cooking areas, and they have uneven access to services like water and sewage. Optimizing existing housing stock and developing rental marketse.g., by streamlining processes while upholding quality and safety standardsare key strategies to support migrants in securing housing and enhancing job access.
