AMAVIZCA-RUIZ, Jesús R. et al. Migration of adolescent population from San Mateo Ozolco, Puebla. agric. soc. desarro [online]. 2014, vol.11, n.2, pp.181-199. ISSN 1870-5472.

The article addresses the migration of adolescents in San Mateo Ozolco, to pinpoint, based on the theory of migrant personality, why some teenagers migrate and others do not, under the same conditions of migration and poverty. For this purpose, the components of this theory are analyzed, and the results indicate that a differentiation can be made through it, between those who wish to migrate and those who do not, since it includes internal aspects such as personality and motivation for achievement, power and affiliation, as well as situational aspects such as poverty and migration. Likewise, it presents a structure that integrates different theoretical aspects of the issue, in addition to the contributions by studies of adolescent migration, regarding variables of motivation to join the family, values, expectations and poverty, among others.

Palabras llave : international migration; motivation; migrant personality.
