VARGAS VALLE, Eunice D.; RODRIGUEZ CHAVEZ, Oscar  y  RODRIGUEZ LOPEZ, María Teresa. Guatemalan households and ethnicity in the South of Mexico: Demographic and socioeconomic profiles. Estud. front [online]. 2019, vol.20, e036.  Epub 09-Dic-2019. ISSN 2395-9134.  https://doi.org/10.21670/ref.1915036.

The goal of this paper is to analyze the demographic and socioeconomic profiles of Guatemalan households by indigenous language in the southern border states of Mexico. In particular, it is explored how many Guatemalan households are settled, how they are configured and how they are integrated in structural terms, based on the Intercensus Survey 2015. To this end, descriptive statistics and a multinomial logistic model are used. The analysis indicates that Guatemalan households are concentrated in rural localities, are numerous and younger, and mainly work in the primary sector. Their socioeconomic integration is disadvantaged in aspects such as labor and housing conditions and access to social services. Nevertheless, Guatemalan indigenous households exhibit higher levels of social integration than their non-indigenous counterparts in the access to citizenship, housing and governmental economic transfers.

Palabras llave : Guatemalan population; households; integration; migration; southern border; Mexico.
