Análisis del impacto del Programa de Reunificación Familiar mediante Parole (FRP) en la dinámica de las remesas enviadas por los colombianos desde Estados Unidos hacia Colombia, durante el periodo 2023–2025.

Abstract

Remittances have become a fundamental component of Colombia’s economy, representing 2.8% of the national GDP in 2023 (Banco de la República, 2023). This financial flow, mostly originating from the United States, serves as a key source of income for millions of households and contributes to macroeconomic stability. Within this framework, the Family Reunification Parole (FRP) Program, implemented by the U.S. government in July 2023, introduces a new dynamic in migratory processes and remittance generation toward Colombia. The objective of this undergraduate research project is to analyze the impact of the FRP on the evolution of remittances sent by Colombians from the United States to Colombia during the 2023–2025 period. Through a qualitative–documentary and descriptive approach, the study examines the program’s guidelines, official remittance statistics, and the socioeconomic implications derived from this migratory policy. The research aims to provide evidence to understand how a legal migration mechanism influences international financial flows and contributes to reducing inequalities, within the framework of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs 1, 8, 10, and 17).
