MARTINEZ VELASCO, Germán. International migration from Chiapas: trajectories of mobility, and sociodemographic and social conditions. Rev. pueblos front. digit. [online]. 2013, vol.8, n.15, pp.50-91. ISSN 1870-4115.  https://doi.org/10.22201/cimsur.18704115e.2013.15.86.

The document refers to the recent evolutionary trajectory of migratory destinations of the Chiapanecan population. It explains why immigrants from Chiapas inserted themselves into the immigration flow to the United States of America later than other populations. If offers a socio-demographic characterization of this migration flow in terms of crossing points, places of origin and destination, educational situation, kinship and sex of the migrant population. Finally, the document helps clarify the social conditions of the expelling municipalities, establishing an association between marginalization indexes, human development and migratory intensity in high, medium and low intensity municipalities. The document mostly resorts to the database made by the Institute for Mexicans Abroad, which is one of first themes that the article explores.

Keywords : migration; migratory intensity; social conditions; marginalization index; human development index.
