Las movilidades interna y de retorno de los varones migrantes mexicanos a Estados Unidos en perspectiva longitudinal (1942-2011)

The patterns of mobility among Mexicans living in the U.S. have shifted since the xx century until today. Mobility depends on the personal characteristics of the Mexican migrants. Using the longitudinal data provided by the Mexican Migration Project, wedescribe the changes of residence (internal and return migration) linked to labor transitions of Mexican men after their first arrival to United States. We analyze changes in the patterns in three migration stages (bracero, pre-irca and post-irca). We estimate the probabilities of the different types of migration by duration of residence, documentation status and occupation.
