While rates of low birth weight are similar, Venezuelan migrants face significantly higher risks of pregnancy loss, with fetal deaths rising sharply relative to their Colombian counterparts. Key contributors include inadequate healthcare coverage, pregna…

Using matched employer–employee data from the U.S. Census Bureau Longitudinal Employer-Household Dynamics (LEHD) database on a set of metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) with subs…
