#255 The Development of Regions Experiencing High Levels of Out-Migration in Mexico: Analysis for Maximizing the Benefits of Migration for Sending Regions
By Gustavo Verduzco and Kurt Unger
From the Preface
Gustavo Verduzco is a distinguished professor of sociology at El Colegio de México and chair of the Sociology Department. During November 2000 he was a Mexico Public Policy Scholar at the Woodrow Wilson Center, supported by a generous grant from the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation. He wrote this paper based on his research into strategies for addressing out-migration during his period of stay at the Wilson Center.
Recently both the Mexican and U.S. governments have placed special emphasis on strategies to aid those communities that are responsible for a disproportionate amount of migration to the United States. In the context of the search for strategies to address the needs of these communities, this working paper is of particular relevance.
