Book Labor Market Issues along the U S Mexico Border

Download or read book Labor Market Issues along the U S Mexico Border written by Marie T. Mora and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2022-04-12 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Five million workers are employed in a variety of settings along the U.S.–Mexico border, yet labor market outcomes on each side often differ. U.S. workers tend to have low earnings and high unemployment compared with the rest of the country, while workers on the Mexican side of the border are often more prosperous than those in the interior. This book sheds new light on these socioeconomic differentials, along with other labor market issues affecting both sides of the border. The contributors take up issues that dominate the current discourse— migration, trade, gender, education, earnings, and employment. They analyze labor conditions and their relationship to immigration, and also provide insight into income levels and population concentrations, the relative prosperity of Mexico’s border region, and NAFTA’s impact on trade and living conditions. Drawing on demographic, economic, and labor data, the chapters treat topics ranging from historical context to directions for future research. They cover the importance of trade to both the United States and Mexico, salary differentials, the determinants of wages among Mexican immigrant women on the U.S. side, and the net effect of Mexican migration on the public coffers in U.S. border states. The book’s concluding policy prescriptions are geared toward improving conditions on the U.S. side without dampening the success of workers in Mexico. Written to be equally accessible to social scientists, policy makers, and concerned citizens, this book deals with issues often overlooked in national policy discussions and can help readers better understand real-life conditions along the border. It dispels misconceptions regarding labor interdependence between the two countries while offering policy recommendations useful for improving the economic and social well-being of border residents.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many decades Mexico has provided an elastic supply of farm labor to the United States, but the findings in this dissertation indicate that rural Mexico is currently transitioning away from agricultural work. Worldwide as economies develop, the share of the population working in the agricultural sector declines. The U.S. workforce transitioned out of hired farm work in the mid-twentieth century, but immigration of farm workers from rural Mexico allowed labor-intensive agricultural production to continue to expand. Nevertheless, analysis of the factors pushing and pulling rural Mexicans out of agricultural work suggest that the farm labor supply from rural Mexico is becoming more inelastic as the opportunity cost of working in agriculture rises, putting upward pressure on farm wages. With no viable alternative source of farm labor, the U.S. and Mexican agricultural sectors will have to learn to produce more with fewer workers by investing in labor-saving technologies and farm management practices. This dissertation identifies the trend in the probability of working in agriculture and unpacks the trend into is primary components using household panel data nationally representative of rural Mexico with work histories for all household members from 1980 to 2010. The probability that an individual from rural Mexico worked in agriculture (whether in the United States or Mexico) declined by 0.97 percentage points per year between 1980 and 2010. Factors contributing to the declining farm labor supply include growing non-farm employment in Mexico, decreased family size, and rising education in rural Mexico. Rising farm wages in the U.S. and increased border patrol significantly increase the probability that individuals work in agriculture, but their impact has only somewhat attenuated the downward trend. Rising education has particularly important implications for the long-run supply of workers to agriculture in the United States and Mexico because education has the potential to change the character and preferences of the workforce over multiple generations. More rigorous analysis of the causal impact of education on the probability of working in agriculture indicates that expansion of lower secondary schools in rural Mexico has increased rural education and accelerated the transition of labor out of agricultural work. Findings from a differences-in-differences analysis show that individuals who had access to a local secondary school when school-age were 5.4 percentage points less likely to work in agriculture at age 20 than individuals from the same village who were older than school-age when the secondary school was constructed in their village, and the magnitude of the impact grows with age. These findings suggest that rural developing economies can and should prepare for a structural shift in the labor force as access to education rises. The workforce from rural Mexico is becoming more educated, their skill sets are changing, and their opportunity cost of time is rising. Workers from rural Mexico are transitioning away from agriculture though Mexico has been the primary source of farm labor to both the United States and Mexico for many years. Agricultural employers in both countries will have to learn to produce more with fewer workers by investing in labor-saving technologies that also complement the skills of a more educated workforce. Rural communities in the United States and Mexico are expected to benefit as the marginal productivity of workers and rural wages rise. Nevertheless, the agricultural industries in both countries must anticipate and prepare for a changing agricultural workforce.
