Migration to the United States and Mexican Rural Development: A Case Study
通过对墨西哥拉斯阿尼马斯村的深入案例研究，分析移民美国对输出社区和接收劳动力市场的影响，发现移民虽对个人有利，却导致村庄经济停滞并加剧加州劳动力市场的分割。
Abstract In‐depth study of Las Animas, Mexico, allows us to analyze the impact of migration to the United States on both sending community and receiving labor markets. As the community becomes increasingly involved in migration, tendencies can be identified regarding changing migration patterns, class differentiation among villagers, impact of migration on village economy, and the changing role of Mexican workers in California labor markets. Results indicate the importance of social networks in determining the outcome of migration; while migration is individually rational, it is a factor of stagnation for village economy, and it helps reproduce segmented California labor markets.
