Book Description
During the last decade Mexico has experienced important changes in different ambits: social, political, economic, institutional, etc. Political participation among the Mexican population increased, causing the government decision-making processes to become decentralized, the role of the public sector has been reduced, and a new social policy was directed by the government especially oriented to combat poverty. In terms of international policy, the country enjoys a more open economy and it is more integrated with the world than a few decades ago. In spite of the changes, high poverty had persist and some regions present severe underemployment. The present investigation concentrates in the Mexican rural sector. Locations with less than 2,500 individuals are considered rural, which are characterized by problems and needs. Frequently, rural people are found in remote areas with difficult access to markets and institutions, with few opportunities to gain jobs and inadequate access to productive assets. The dynamic of the rural economy is complex; its demographic and economic characteristics create differences in the labor force; in the earnings that people living in rural areas get and in the type and prices of good and services they consume; in the problems that they encounter, and the possible solutions to theses problems. However the rural sector is contradictory in the sense that it contains weaknesses and strengths; it has deficiencies but also it has an important potential of social, economic and technological development. Mexico is a country where the population whom lives in rural areas is abundant and where the agriculture is their principal economic activity, even though it has been declining during the last decade (see graph 1). The retail and service activities have gained importance in the last years among the rural economically active people.

The Myth of Market Failure

Book Description
This book takes sharp issue with the prevailing perception that Mexican employment conditions have not improved or have even deteriorated over time. It reveals a steady and substantial improvement in the earnings of workers at the bottom of the nonagricultural wage structure and shows that rural-urban migration has caused migrants' earnings to rise signinficantly and has not prevented the rise of urban unskilled wages in general. The findings indicate that estimates of the underutilization of labor are not only grossly exaggerated but also misleading for the formulation of employment policy. The author uses new information to estimate the flow of migrant labor to the United States. His examination of Mexican labor markets shows the unexpected importance of nonagricultural labor for rural household incomes. Finally, he assesses the impact on employment of the recent economic crisis and draws on lessons of the past to advance employment policy prescriptions for the future.
