This book was released on 2005 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author addresses the labor markets in rural and semi-urban Mexico. The empirical analyses show that non-farm income shares increase with overall consumption levels and, also, with time. Rural-dwellers in lower quintiles of the consumption distribution tend to earn a larger share of their nonagricultural incomes from wage labor activities. For the poorest, low-productivity wage labor activities are important. The quantile wage regression analysis for rural Mexico shows a rather heterogeneous impact pattern of individual characteristics across the wage distribution on monthly wages. The author's findings reveal that education is key to earning higher wages, and that workers in more dispersed rural areas earn less than their peers in semi-urban rural areas (localities with less than 15,000 inhabitants). The rural non-farm sector is heterogeneous and includes a great variety of activities and productivity levels across non-farm jobs. Moreover it can reduce poverty in a couple of distinct but qualitatively important ways in rural Mexico. The analysis of non-farm employment in rural Mexico suggests that the two key determinants of access to employment and productivity in non-farm activities are education and location.

Book excerpt: During the last decade Mexico has experienced important changes in different ambits: social, political, economic, institutional, etc. Political participation among the Mexican population increased, causing the government decision-making processes to become decentralized, the role of the public sector has been reduced, and a new social policy was directed by the government especially oriented to combat poverty. In terms of international policy, the country enjoys a more open economy and it is more integrated with the world than a few decades ago. In spite of the changes, high poverty had persist and some regions present severe underemployment. The present investigation concentrates in the Mexican rural sector. Locations with less than 2,500 individuals are considered rural, which are characterized by problems and needs. Frequently, rural people are found in remote areas with difficult access to markets and institutions, with few opportunities to gain jobs and inadequate access to productive assets. The dynamic of the rural economy is complex; its demographic and economic characteristics create differences in the labor force; in the earnings that people living in rural areas get and in the type and prices of good and services they consume; in the problems that they encounter, and the possible solutions to theses problems. However the rural sector is contradictory in the sense that it contains weaknesses and strengths; it has deficiencies but also it has an important potential of social, economic and technological development. Mexico is a country where the population whom lives in rural areas is abundant and where the agriculture is their principal economic activity, even though it has been declining during the last decade (see graph 1). The retail and service activities have gained importance in the last years among the rural economically active people.

Book excerpt: This book takes sharp issue with the prevailing perception that Mexican employment conditions have not improved or have even deteriorated over time. It reveals a steady and substantial improvement in the earnings of workers at the bottom of the nonagricultural wage structure and shows that rural-urban migration has caused migrants' earnings to rise signinficantly and has not prevented the rise of urban unskilled wages in general. The findings indicate that estimates of the underutilization of labor are not only grossly exaggerated but also misleading for the formulation of employment policy. The author uses new information to estimate the flow of migrant labor to the United States. His examination of Mexican labor markets shows the unexpected importance of nonagricultural labor for rural household incomes. Finally, he assesses the impact on employment of the recent economic crisis and draws on lessons of the past to advance employment policy prescriptions for the future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anthropologies of Unemployment offers accessible, theoretically innovative, and ethnographically rich examinations of unemployment in rural and urban regions across North and South America, Europe, Africa, and Asia. The diversity of case studies demonstrates that unemployment is a pressing global phenomenon that sheds light on the uneven consequences of free-market ideologies and policies. Economic, social, and cultural marginalization is common in the lives of the unemployed, but their experience and interpretation are shaped by local and national cultural particularities. In exploring those differences, the contributors to this volume employ recent theoretical innovations and engage with some of the more salient topics in contemporary anthropology, such as globalization, migration, youth cultures, bureaucracy, class, gender, and race. Taken together, the chapters reveal that there is something new about unemployment today. It is not a temporary occurrence, but a chronic condition. In adjusting to persistent, longstanding unemployment, people and groups create new understandings of unemployment as well as of work and employment; they improvise new forms of sociality, morality, and personhood. Ethnographic studies such as those found in Anthropologies of Unemployment are crucial if we are to understand the broader forms, meanings, and significance of pervasive economic insecurity and discover the emergence of new social and cultural possibilities.

Book excerpt: Frederick Jackson Turner Award Finalist Winner of the David Montgomery Award Winner of the Theodore Saloutos Book Award Winner of the Betty and Alfred McClung Lee Book Award Winner of the Frances Richardson Keller-Sierra Prize Winner of the Américo Paredes Book Award “A deeply humane book.” —Mae Ngai, author of Impossible Subjects “Necessary and timely...A valuable text to consider alongside the current fight for DACA, the border concentration camps, and the unending rhetoric dehumanizing Mexican migrants.” —PopMatters “A deep dive into the history of Mexican migration to and from the United States.” —PRI’s The World In the 1970s, the Mexican government decided to tackle rural unemployment by supporting the migration of able-bodied men. Millions of Mexican men crossed into the United States to find work. They took low-level positions that few Americans wanted and sent money back to communities that depended on their support. They periodically returned to Mexico, living their lives in both countries. After 1986, however, US authorities disrupted this back-and-forth movement by strengthening border controls. Many Mexican men chose to remain in the United States permanently for fear of not being able to come back north if they returned to Mexico. For them, the United States became a jaula de oro—a cage of gold. Undocumented Lives tells the story of Mexican migrants who were compelled to bring their families across the border and raise a generation of undocumented children.
