CHAVEZ GALINDO, Ana María  and  SERRANO SANCHEZ, Olga V.. Recent migration and households in the central region of Mexico. Pap. poblac [online]. 2003, vol.9, n.36, pp.79-108. ISSN 2448-7147.

The population's mobility in central Mexico continues to be the most important flow in the country, where the largest number of migrants takes place between Mexico City and the state of Mexico. However, the economical crisis of the eighties, which particularly affected Mexico City, produced a slight reduction of migration in both Mexico City and the state of Mexico, while increasing the population moving towards the neighboring states. Besides, during the last years has occurred a change in the unit of analysis in migration studies: Form individual to households. In this work, we analyze the relevance of migration in the households of this region, showing the influence of head households education in these movements, as well as the household's characteristics (household's type and life cycle) producing a larger mobility of population, comparing this last aspect to what occurs in the north and south regions.
