ECHEVERRIA, Martín  e  LEWIN FISCHER, Pedro. Youth with intention to leave. Culture of migration among students of Yucatan. Península [online]. 2016, vol.11, n.2, pp.9-33. ISSN 1870-5766.  https://doi.org/10.1016/j.pnsla.2016.08.001.

Based on a representative survey given in 2011 to 1243 primary, secondary, and high school students in the state of Yucatán, Mexico, this paper presents results that provide a profile of the complexity and multiplicity of factors involved in forming what is generally understood as “the culture of migration.” Supplemented with qualitative information from interviews, the data show that this culture is not only a dynamic field and constantly debated by opposing forces who are confronted to consolidate community roots or promote migration decisions, but also that this culture is highly dependent on the age and sex of youth, their education, social networks in which they participate, as well as on diverse sources of information that influence the establishment of diverse representations of migratory destinations.

Palavras-chave : culture of migration; emigration factors; youth; Yucatán; Mexico.
