DIAZ GARAY, Alejandro  e  JUAREZ GUTIERREZ, María del Carmen. International migration and remittances: socio-economic impact on the State of Guerrero. Pap. poblac [online]. 2008, vol.14, n.56, pp.113-133. ISSN 2448-7147.

In spite of not belonging to the historical region of the international migration of Mexico towards the United States, Guerrero experiences a remarkable growth of the international migration since the last decade of the XX century, becoming part of the emergent States of the country. The objective was to measure the social and economic impact of the international migration on both familial and collective remittances. One survey and 27 interviews were applied. Familial remittances mainly replace the basic necessities of the households. The collective remittances alleviate marginalization. In general, remittances are essentially destined to the consumption of basic goods and services, scarcely to generate productive investment.
