GONZALEZ ARIAS, Adriana e AIKIN ARALUCE, Olga. Migración de tránsito por la ruta del occidente de México: actores, riesgos y perfiles de vulnerabilidad. Migr. desarro [online]. 2015, vol.13, n.24, pp.81-115. ISSN 1870-7599.
This study analyzes the conditions of vulnerability exhibited by certain migrant groups that transit through the western route in Mexico. Derived from a concept of vulnerability based on risk factors and on the capabilities or resources that the enable the subjects to confront them, interviews were conducted with 78 migrants encountered along this route and which reside within various vulnerability categories that allow us to understand the conditions of transit. We find that the vulnerability of the interviewed migrants is strongly permeated by factors such as nationality, gender, age, previous migratory experience, networks of support and socioeconomic conditions. In this sense, the least vulnerable groups are those of a single nationality, in which a group of male and female Mexicans exhibits greater resources with which to confront dangers (legal transit or the existence of more reliable networks of support).
