Urban labor mobility and Covid -19: the cases of three metropolitan areas of Mexico. Pap. poblac [online]. 2021, vol.27, n.107, pp.221-242.  Epub Dec 06, 2021.

The document aims to evaluate the relationship between labor mobility and contagion such as deaths caused by Covid-19 between March and October 2020. Three Metropolitan Zones located in the center and west of Mexico are selected. To carry out this relationship, we rely on the 2015 Intercensal Survey and the information derived from the database of the Ministry of Health in Mexico with daily indicators on the condition. When processing the data from both sources of information, positive values are obtained by applying a Pearson correlation with most of the variables introduced in the analysis. The most prominent cases have to do with people who move to work within the same municipality of residence, all show significant values. As a second result to highlight (with little probability of being infected or dying), the role played by the population that travels to work by bicycle is important.

Keywords : Labor mobility; Covid-19.
