'''Colombian diaspora''' refers to the mass movement of [[Colombian People|Colombian people]] who have emigrated from the country in search of safety and/or a better quality of life. Many of those who moved were educated middle and upper middle-class Colombians; because of this, the Colombian diaspora can be referred to as a [[brain drain]]. However, significant numbers of poor Colombians have also been documented. Colombian officials state that this movement peaked in the year 2000 and that the most popular destinations for emigration include the [[United States]], [[Ecuador]], [[Canada]], [[Brazil]], [[Costa Rica]], [[Panama]] and [[Venezuela]]. In Europe, [[Spain]] has the largest Colombian community on the continent, followed by the [[United Kingdom]], while tens of thousands of Colombian immigrants live in [[Germany]], [[Italy]], [[France]] and [[The Netherlands]]<ref>Myriam Bérubé, ''[http://www.migrationinformation.org/Profiles/display.cfm?ID=344 Colombia: In the Crossfire]'', Migration Information Source</ref>. Many Colombians are also dispersed throughout the rest of Latin America. [[Mexico]], [[Argentina]] and [[Chile]] received political refugees in the mid-to-late 20th century, and Colombian guest workers in the early 2000s. |
|||
The Colombian diaspora can also refer to the new wave of Colombian artists who have migrated seeking better opportunities and new, more lucrative markets. |
|||
In recent years, the emigration of Colombians has decreased due to improvements in both quality of life and the Colombian economy{{Citation needed|date=May 2009}}. |
