Immigration Policies in Costa Rica

As part of the social characteristics and labor, integration and public policy on immigration in Costa Rica (Politicas de Inmigracion en Costa Rica, 2008) you must define the demographic and socio-economic characterization of migrants through such thing as:
1.Diagnosis panoramic migration of the country, considering the general situation, demographics labor characteristics and geographical distribution of the immigrant population.



2.Socio economic differences observed in this population and function of gender, relationship and years of residence.
3.Employment landscape with special attention to the Nicaraguan population.



4.Migrants access to the services and their relationship with the satisfaction of basic needs.
5.National legislation which regulates the international migration in the country and the publics policies aimed at regulating the management of public attention to migrants in different fields related to the problem of integration a respect for their rights.
Also be taken into account and not least:
1.International migration in Costa Rica in the last decade.
2.Contributions of migrants to the country and problems faced.
Is important to mention that one of the flows has been the most studied of the Nicaraguan immigrant population, but according to the population census of 2000 and regular household surveys have revealed significant numbers of immigrants from Colombia, Panamanian, of the other countries in the Americas, some Caribbean islands as Cubans, Dominicans, Haitians and some Peruvians and Chinese.
My opinion with respect to that issue involving the above aspects, in our country are offering more stable living standards and higher quality compared to other Central American countries, to mention the most obvious are:
* Access to public education is not restricted to those who have no economic opportunity, give them scholarships or grants options with government institutions.
* Access to social insurance, as in any health emergency can be resolved at low cost and access in any area of health.
* Access to work, since there is a direct relationship between job characteristics and supply / demand in the labor market. Not discriminating against anyone to engage in job competitions being of another nationality.
