HORBATH, Jorge Enrique y GRACIA, María Amalia. Expressions of the Incorporation of Guatemalans to the Nonformal Productive Structure in the Mexican Municipalities Bordering Guatemala.Traducido porLuis Cejudo-Espinosa. Frontera norte [online]. 2022, vol.34, e2265. Epub 05-Dic-2022. ISSN 2594-0260. https://doi.org/10.33679/rfn.v1i1.2265.
We address the trends in the incorporation of the Guatemalan workforce in the Mexico-Guatemala Crossborder Region (MGCR). Through quantitative methodology, 22 Mexican border municipalities are studied, and the microdata of the 2010 Population Census and the 2015 Intercensal Survey of INEGI are processed. It is observed that people of Guatemalan origin are initially engaged in agricultural activities, although due to the precarity in the Mexican countryside in the last decade, they have been linked mainly to informal activities and jobs in the service sector. The article provides empirical data to understand the phenomenon analyzed in the border municipalities as a whole. Even with the limitations of census sources, the study shows the relationship between job insecurity and the non-formal productive structures that prevail, as well as the economic and political-administrative asymmetries between the states in question.
