Migration to and from Mexico City, 1995-2000.

Migración hacia y desde Ciudad de México.
La migration à Mexico, 1995-2000.

Mexico City (Mexico); Mexico

This paper examines migratory flows in and out of Mexico City between 1995 and 2000, and discusses the social and economic characteristics of the individuals involved. Over recent decades, there have been changes in migratory patterns, as the earlier influx of migrants to Mexico City appeared to decrease, and to be overtaken in 1990 by net out-migration. However, figures from the 2000 Mexican census indicate that there is now relative migratory equilibrium. The city continues to be a destination for migrants from poorer states in the country, but it is also an important source of migration to the central and northern states. An examination of the characteristics of the migrants demonstrates that migratory processes are dynamic and complex, responding to a range of economic, environmental, social, cultural and political factors at both origins and destinations.

presenta los resultados de un estudio sobre los flujos migratorios hacía y desde la capital mexicana entre 1995 y 2000, que incluye un perfil socio-económico de los migrantes. En años recientes pareciera que el flujo de migrantes hacia México hubiese disminuido, en tanto que el flujo de migrantes que salían de ella hubiese aumentado. Sin embargo, datos para el período 1995-2000 parecen indicar que ahora existe un relativo equilibrio. Un examen del perfil de los migrantes muestra que los procesos migratorios son dinámicos y complejos, Cfl respuesta a una gama de factores económicos, ambientales, sociales, culturales y políticos tanto en los lugares de origen como en el destino.

examine les mouvements migratoires à Mexico entre 1995 et 2000, et discute des caractéristiques sociales et économiques des individus touchés. Au cours des récentes décennies, l'afflux auparavant de migrants à Mexico semblerait diminuer et être depassé par une nette émigration. Pourtant, les chiffres entre 1995 et 2000 indiquent qu'il existe maintenant un mouvement migratoire relativement équilibré. Un examen des caractéristiques des migrants montre que les processus sont dynamiques et complexes, et répondent à un cercle de facteurs économiques, environnementaux, sociaux, culturels et politiques des endroits d'origine et de destination.
