CALDERON VILLARREAL, Cuauhtémoc y HUESCA REYNOSO, Luis. Profile of earners and remittances in Mexico: a relative deprivation approach. Contad. Adm [online]. 2014, vol.59, n.3, pp.11-33. ISSN 0186-1042.
This research analyzes the individual qualities and microeconomic profiles from mexican workers in Mexico, which under relative deprivation conditions, take the choice to leave the country as an alternative way to improve their life expectations. It is found that mexican assistance programs encompass heterogeneous results and thus, are not a generalized signal of improvement for the families. Using a Multinomial Logit specification we found that public assistance programs reinforce relative deprivation of non-migrants families on those who have relatives who migrated. Human capital attributes present a direct relation with the process of migration not only for traditional exporting labor regions, but also for the north-border of the country. The south supports the relative deprivation hypothesis meanwhile, is not the case for the USA-mexican border States.
