LARRALDE-CORONA, Adriana Helia. The transformation of labor, geographic mobility, and town-country relations in the rural area of the State of Mexico. Econ. soc. territ [online]. 2012, vol.12, n.40, pp.619-655. ISSN 2448-6183.
In this paper, the transformation of labor activities, geographic mobility, and countryside-city relations is documented using the case study of an ejido in the Valley of Toluca. The analyzed period, 1940-2000, covers the transition of work processes to a post-productivist stage in the country, the prevailing urban forms, and spatial mobility. Interviews, life stories, were used in this study. The results show a transformation of labor, linked in a first stage with agricultural production, into occupations in the tertiary sector and industry. Likewise, an abandonment of labor in the local space heading for the regional hinterland was observed, as well as the predominance of commuting as form of mobility. Finally, a transformation of countryside-city relations took place, together with the splintering of the connections of the rural population with Mexico City, and the emergence of links with smaller and closer cities.
