Activities, Employment, and Wages in Rural and Semi-urban Mexico
Author: Dorte VernerPublisher: World Bank Publications

Book Description
The author addresses the labor markets in rural and semi-urban Mexico. The empirical analyses show that non-farm income shares increase with overall consumption levels and, also, with time. Rural-dwellers in lower quintiles of the consumption distribution tend to earn a larger share of their nonagricultural incomes from wage labor activities. For the poorest, low-productivity wage labor activities are important. The quantile wage regression analysis for rural Mexico shows a rather heterogeneous impact pattern of individual characteristics across the wage distribution on monthly wages. The author's findings reveal that education is key to earning higher wages, and that workers in more dispersed rural areas earn less than their peers in semi-urban rural areas (localities with less than 15,000 inhabitants). The rural non-farm sector is heterogeneous and includes a great variety of activities and productivity levels across non-farm jobs. Moreover it can reduce poverty in a couple of distinct but qualitatively important ways in rural Mexico. The analysis of non-farm employment in rural Mexico suggests that the two key determinants of access to employment and productivity in non-farm activities are education and location.

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.
