Resumen
LOZANO ASCENCIO, Fernando; GANDINI, Luciana y RAMIREZ-GARCIA, Telésforo. Devaluación del trabajo de posgraduados en México y migración internacional: los profesionistas en ciencia y tecnología. Migr. desarro [online]. 2015, vol.13, n.25, pp.61-89. ISSN 1870-7599.
The aim of this work is to compare the conditions of labor market integration of Mexican workers with post-graduate education in both Mexico and the United States, in order to explore the relationship between the Mexican labor market and migration to the United States. The study analyzes the relationship between the academic credentials held by Mexican post-graduates and the kind of employment they obtain, in both countries, with an emphasis on the sciences, technology, engineering and mathematic (CTIM) fields. The results indicate that the Mexican labor market «punishes» post-graduates in CTIM fields, the younger job-seekers, and offers less-favorable conditions for women and for those who hold a PhD. In contrast, the United States labor market «rewards» Mexican post-graduates in CTIM fields, those who are younger, women, those with a doctorate, those who studied in the United States, and those Mexicans who hold U.S. citizenship.
