Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The maquiladora program, composed of assembly plants located in Mexico, is the result of special provisions in both Mexican and American law. This program plays a central role in a new development program, chosen by the Mexican government, based on an outward-oriented development strategy and liberalization of the economy. The broad objectives of this program are to provide sources of employment (particularly in the border zone), to generate foreign exchange, and to create linkages between the maquiladora industry and the rest of the Mexican economy. Maquiladoras have been the center of a great deal of controversy in both countries since their 1965 inception. This controversy is centered mainly on benefits and costs on these countries. Particularly in the case of Mexico, there is no unique answer to the question: is the maquiladora program an adequate development strategy? This study focuses on an empirical assessment of the maquiladora program. Estimation of impacts on value of output, income, and employment within the Mexican economy is the major contribution of this research. General multipliers for the Mexican economy are estimated and the role of the Maquiladoras is discussed. Additionally, two simulations are addressed: (1) increased maquiladora purchases within Mexico and (2) earnings leakage to the United States. The methodology used to address the objectives of this study is an interindustry (input-output) model for the Mexican economy that accounted for the maquiladora linkages with the economy. An input-output model was developed for the Mexican economy. To account the economic impacts of the maquiladora program the model includes 29 sectors. Twelve of these represent the economic activity of maquiladora industries. The results indicate that maquiladoras have relatively low output multipliers. About 33% of their total value of output resulted from secondary effects with other linked sectors in the Mexican economy. Of this, indirect output generated through maquiladora's input purchases was 7% and induced output generated through maquiladora workers purchases of goods and services was 26%. Maquiladoras also have relatively low impacts on the Mexican households income because of relatively low domestic input purchases. On average, maquiladora sectors are more capital intensive than the rest of the Mexican economy. This and their weak backward linkages resulted in relatively low employment impacts. Maquiladora workers spendings impacts were about 2.6 times larger than maquiladora input purchases impacts ...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1989, this book focuses upon the phenomenon of export-led industrialisation fuelled by foreign investment and technology. He concentrates on Mexico, where US companies have been taking advantage of inexpensive labour to establish "maquila" factories that assemble US parts for export. Through this detailed study of the maquila industry, Sklair charts the progress from the political imperialism of colonial days to the economic imperialism of today.
Download or read book The Social Costs of Industrial Growth in Northern Mexico written by Kathryn Kopinak and published by Center for U.S.-Mexican Studies University of Cali. This book was released on 2004 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The foreign export-processing industry is a global phenomenon, with factories known as maquiladoras in Mexico and Central America. While maquiladoras have gone through second- and third-generation production models, with corresponding research literature from business perspectives, the social analyses of these models and 'Mature Maquilization's' effects on health, the environment, infrastructure, and gender inequalities have not yet been adequately addressed. Kathryn Kopinak's fine edited collection is a long-overdue, welcome addition to this gap in the literature. Drawing together a distinguished and committed group of scholars from North America, The Social Costs of Industrial Growth in Mexico provides careful and methodical knowledge on extensive third-generation social costs, with few benefits for workers' abilities to live healthy lives in which they enjoy fruits of their hard labor.

Book excerpt: This pioneering volume presents an in-depth examination of the maquiladora phenomenon written by experts on the subject. The contributors focus on three vital dimensions of the maquiladora issue: the impact of the maquilas on workers and economic development in both the U.S. and Mexico; the success or failure of the maquilas on an industry by industry basis; and the strategic aspects of the maquiladora program from geopoltical and macroeconomic perspectives. The controversial aspects of the maquilas--their impact on local pollution, unemployment and labor market exploitation--also receive extended coverage.

Download or read book Las Maquiladoras Assembly and Manufacturing Plants on the United States Mexico Border written by Martin Sable and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-07-10 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is a one-stop research resource on the assembly and manufacturing plants on the U.S.-Mexico border, termed Maquiladoras. A combination bibliography and directory, Las Maquiladoras focuses on various aspects of the American-owned companies that are located in Mexico and employ Mexican citizens. While the thrust of the items included in the select bibliography is on the industrial, commercial, and financial aspects of the phenomenon, including the actions of multinational corporations and their investments, there are also entries dealing with the matter of labor, United States and Mexican governmental undertakings, legal and urban problems, regional development and planning, population, technology transfer, sociocultural considerations, and the interdisciplinary field of border studies, which is concerned with a host of topics ranging form health and education to urban geography, economic matters, and the cultural impact on border residents of the establishment of maquiladoras. The impact of economic development, industrialization, and urbanization on border culture is also reflected. In the directory, readers can locate names and addresses of local, state, and federal level government agencies in the U.S. and Mexico; information centers; labor unions; professional associations; and research centers. The bibliography, comprised of books and book chapters, pamphlets, conference papers and proceedings, government publications, scholarly dissertations, videotapes of television programs, and magazine, journal, and newspaper articles, will be an indispensable tool for business people, bankers, journalists, government experts, economists, students, and librarians. The current interest in border studies and in Mexico, in particular, will make this unique book especially useful to scholars of folklore, geography, history, labor, political science, and sociology. Special features in the book include a list of experts in a variety of disciplines and a listing of U.S. and Mexican cities and towns on opposite sides of the border. Because the number of maquiladoras is expected to continue expanding rapidly, this volume should remain a highly valuable resource.
