MEZA GONZALEZ, Liliana y ORRACA ROMANO, Pedro Paulo. Analysis of the Labor Income of Young Americans in Mexico. Migr. Inter [online]. 2022, vol.13, rmiv1i12478. Epub 17-Feb-2023. ISSN 2594-0279. https://doi.org/10.33679/rmi.v1i1.2478.
Using data from the 2015 Intercensal Survey and the 2010 and 2000 censuses, this study analyzes the labor characteristics of young Americans between the ages of 15 and 29 in Mexico and shows that their wages have been higher than those of Mexican workers of the same age group, although differentials have decreased over time. Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition exercises indicate that the unexplained part of the differential is the main determinant of labor outcomes in favor of migrants. We also include a time-fixed effects analysis, stratified by nationality, to control changes in the characteristics of different migrant cohorts and show that the wage advantage of young American workers exists and has decreased through time.
