9312042 Stephens, L Rural economies in developing nations are fundamentally altered by a variety of world and local events such as variation in demand for raw commodities or land reforms. This project will evaluate the impact of the recent free trade agreement between the US and Mexico and ejido restructuring on gender and family relations in three sectors: rural ejido communities, non-ejido rural subsistence communities, and in the urban informal sector. Research will focus on regional factors such a changing employment availability, land prices and family dynamics in six sites. The investigator predicts that economic restructuring in Mexico will have different effects on the rural and urban poor in relation to region, gender, age, and ethnicity. The specific topics to be explored in local reserach sites include the gendered division of labor, household, marital and family relationships, migration patterns, political mobilization, and participation in community cultural institutions. Research will be eventually be extended to a total of six sites in Oaxaca and Nayarit. This Research Planning Grant for Women Scientists requests funding for the first 18 months of a five year project to facilitate a pilot study in the state of Oaxaca and to allow the principle investigator time to gather background data to write a three-year NSF proposal to complete the full project. Specific planning activities include: (1) spending part of the 1993-94 summer and academic year in Oaxaca, Mexico to institute a pilot study in three communities; (2) spending one month during the 1994-95 academic year at the Center for US-Mexican Studies in San Diego, California using the data base on ejido household to frame questions and collect background data for the states of Oaxaca and Nayarit; (3) spending part of the investigator's sabbatical year, 1994-95 writing a multi-year NSF proposal to fund the remaining three years of this project; and (4) reading relevant materials available in Me xico and communication with scholars involved in research on agrarian restructuring in Mexico during the 18 month planning period. ***

9312042 Stephens，L 发展中国家的农村经济从根本上改变了各种世界和当地的事件，如对原材料的需求变化或土地改革。 该项目将评估最近美国和墨西哥之间的自由贸易协定和村社结构调整对三个部门的性别和家庭关系的影响：农村村社社区、非村社农村生计社区和城市非正规部门。 研究将侧重于区域因素，如六个地点不断变化的就业机会、土地价格和家庭动态。 研究人员预测，墨西哥的经济结构调整将对农村和城市贫困人口产生不同的影响，这些影响与地区、性别、年龄和种族有关。 在地方研究地点探讨的具体主题包括性别分工、家庭、婚姻和家庭关系、迁移模式、政治动员和参与社区文化机构。 研究最终将扩大到瓦哈卡和纳亚里特的总共六个地点。 这项女科学家研究规划补助金要求为一个五年项目的前18个月提供资金，以促进在瓦哈卡州进行试点研究，并使主要研究人员有时间收集背景数据，以编写一份为期三年的国家科学基金会提案，完成整个项目。 具体的规划活动包括：（1）1993-94年夏季和学年的一部分时间在墨西哥的瓦哈卡进行一项试验性研究，在三个社区进行;（2）在1994-95学年，在圣地亚哥的美国-墨西哥研究中心呆了一个月，加州利用关于家庭住户的数据库，为瓦哈卡州和纳亚里特州提出问题并收集背景数据;（3）利用研究者1994- 1995年的部分休假年撰写一份多年期的NSF提案，为该项目剩余的三年提供资金;以及（4）阅读Me西科的相关资料，并与参与墨西哥农业结构调整研究的学者交流。18个月规划期。 ***
