International Return Migration and Labor Insertion in Mexico at the Beginning of the 21st Century

This article describes and analyzes the working conditions of the migrant population returned from the United States to Mexico in the period 2000-2020. The main labor indicators in four migratory regions are used to find out how the condi- tions of this population have changed in that period. The analysis is based on the hypothesis that the returned migrant population is vulnerable at work and that, as the years go by, conditions continue to be difficult to guarantee that these people develop and achieve economic and social stability in their country of origin. The main source of information for the analysis is the 2000, 2010 and 2020 census microdata from the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI).
