ZUNIGA, Víctor  y  CARRILLO CANTU, Eduardo. Migration and School Exclusion: Interrupted School Trajectories among Migrant Minors Moving from the United States to Mexico. Estud. sociol [online]. 2020, vol.38, n.114, pp.655-688.  Epub 25-Nov-2020. ISSN 2448-6442.  https://doi.org/10.24201/es.2020v38n114.1907.

Using data collected from two surveys with representative samples of households in the states of Chihuahua and Jalisco -two of the major return migration destinations in Mexico- conducted in September 2018, this article tests a hypothesis which affirms that migration from the United States to Mexico entails school exclusion measured as definitive school drop out before finishing the mandatory school (i. e. K to 9th in Mexico). The article shows that the hypothesis partially represents the links between U.S.-Mexico migration and school exclusion because some of the individuals in the samples dropped out the school just before migrating from Mexico to the United States, and some others interrupt their schooling once they are in the United States.
