| Abstract | Este articulo estudia la migracion a Estados Unidos de los residentes en Valle de Chalco-Solidaridad, Estado de Mexico. Aqui se presentan datos de una encuesta representativa de hogares levantada en este municipio en abril y mayo de 2007. Estos datos cuantitativos se complementan con informacion procedente de entrevistas a profundidad con jefes de hogares, a quienes se selecciono a partir del trabajo de encuesta. Teoricamente, el articulo se basa en la literatura sociodemografica que ha apuntado un cambio de perfil migratorio a Estados Unidos. En este nuevo perfil se subraya, entre otros, el caracter cada vez mas urbano de la emigracion mexicana, la incorporacion de la mujer a los flujos migratorios y el mayor nivel educativo de los migrantes. Entre los resultados, resalta la gran incidencia de la migracion internacional en los hogares chalquenses, una elevada tasa de retorno y una dispersion notable de destinos en Estados Unidos, lo cual se relaciona con la pobreza y la alta precariedad laboral que sufren estos migrantes, tanto en Mexico como en ese pais. Abstract The article focuses on international migration patterns for people going from Valle de Chalco-Solidaridad, in the state of Mexico, to the United States. We present information from a representative sample of households in that municipality, surveyed in April and May 2007. These quantitative data are complemented with information from in-depth interviews with heads of households, who were selected based on the survey. The article is anchored in the theories found in the sociodemographic literature on Mexico-U.S. migration, which indicate a change in that migratory profile. Features of the new profile include more emigration from urban localities, incorporation of women into the migratory outflows, and migrants’ higher levels of education. The results underscore the high levels of international migration for Chalco households, a high rate of return, and a notable dispersion in the U.S. destination communities, which is related to migrants’ poverty and high levels of job insecurity in both countries. |
