Migración, Clubes de Migrantes y Usos de las Remesas: El Caso del Estado de México

Abstract

The article’s main objective is to provide an overview on international migration in the State of Mexico, on the collective and family use of remittances that international migrants send to their communities of origin. The functionality, success and / or scope of the work of Mexican migrant organizations have been challenged yet justified, especially on the basis of the quantity and quality of participation of its members. While studies at aggregate level show an overview of the household characteristics and dynamics of migration and remittances, a statewide study allows deeper knowledge of household characteristics.
