RESANO PEREZ, Elsa; WONG LUNA, Rebeca  and  MARTINEZ MARTINON, Leticia. The income in home with migration to United States. Pap. poblac [online]. 2004, vol.10, n.39, pp.37-54. ISSN 2448-7147.

The paper seeks to explore the relative position among households that report migration to the USA with respect to their level of income, compared to the total households in Mexico. The analysis data comes from the Censal Sample of the XII General Census of Population and Dwellings 2000. First, the article presents the percent distribution of monthly total income. This is followed by the distribution of monthly labor income, and then income from remittances. In each of these parts we distribute the population in seven income strata using the minimum wage as of February 2000. Finally, a series of ideas are set forth regarding the migratory phenomenon to the USA from the perspective of the income level among Mexican households.

Keywords : international migration; migrant; household; monthly total income; monthly labor income; remittances.
