在本文中，我们研究了墨西哥农村女性移民的原因和模式是否与农村男性移民存在显着差异。讨论了许多假设来解释为什么女性移民可能与男性移民不同，特别强调移民网络的作用。利用对墨西哥农村家庭 ejido 部门的全国调查数据，发现男性和女性移徙的决定因素之间存在显着差异。虽然有证据表明网络在女性移民中发挥着重要作用，但我们发现，与案例研究证据相反，女性网络在女性移民中并不比男性网络更有影响力。事实上，女性和男性网络被发现是替代品，这表明它们在女性移民中发挥着相似的功能。尽管女性移民网络在女性移民决策中并未发挥特殊作用，但女性移民的目的地很大程度上受到女性网络移民所在地的影响。
In this article, we examine whether the causes and patterns of Mexican rural female migration differ significantly, from rural male migration. A number of hypotheses are discussed to explain why female migration may differ from male migration, with a particular emphasis on the role of migrant networks. Using data from a national survey of rural Mexican households in the ejido sector, significant differences between the determinants of male and female migration arc found. While evidence suggests that networks play an important role in female migration, we find that, contrary to case study, evidence, female networks arc not More influential than male networks in female migration. In fact, female and male networks are found to be substitutes, suggesting they serve similar functions in female migration. Although female migrant networks do not play a special role in the female migration decision, the destination of female migrants is strongly influenced by the location of female network migrants.
