LOZANO ASCENCIO, Fernando. Interrelación entre la migración internacional y la migración interna en México. Pap. poblac [online]. 2002, vol.8, n.33, pp.81-100. ISSN 2448-7147.

The relation between internal and international migration is a relatively unexplored issue. In Mexico, studies have identified two separable streams of migration from same rural areas, one to cities within Mexico and. the other, to destinations in the United States. This article presents some empirical evidences that reinforces the notion of a close relationship between internal and international migration in the past and in the present. Results of this article show that migrants who reside in the historic region of migration to the United States have considerably less internal migration background In contrast, migrants who reside out of the historic region of migration to the United Stales have higher internal migration rates. This finding indicates that international migrants from the historic region go directly to the United States, without having internal points of destination inside the Mexican Republic. The article identifies two possible patterns of migration to the United States: one is the traditional pattern, concentrated in nine states of Western Mexico, constituted by migrants mostly from rural areas, with low rates of internal migration, and considerably fewer years of education. The other is the recent (or non-traditionaí) pattern, constituted by migrants living out of the historic region of international migration, dispersed in urban areas, with higher rates of internal migration, a higher presence of women, and higher schooling.
