LEVI LEVI, Silvana. Rural change and circular migration to the United States: A case study from Michoacan, Mexico. Invest. Geog [online]. 1991, n.23, pp.33-52. ISSN 2448-7279.
The aim of this paper is to examine the impact of circular migration to the United States upon the economic and social changes in the rural areas influenced by it. Factors as innovations in agricultural practices, penetration of capital, increased commercialization, expansion of infrastructure and social modifications within rural areas will be examined. These changes have increased the local importance of temporary migration to the United States. Using case studies in Michoacan, the impact of the flow of remittances associated with this form of movement is explored.
