This project asks how women in the central valley of Oaxaca, Mexico manage their households while a male member migrates. This region of Mexico has one of the highest migration rates in the country. The project, involving an anthropologist from Agnes Scott College in Atlanta and her Mexican colleague from the University of Guadalajara, will study the nature of the families, households, and resources women in migrant households deal with. The researchers will describe the women's households of origin and ascription, compare households with migrants to those of non-migrating siblings, and describe the economic behavior of women in migrant households. The project will test hypotheses about the impact of wages on migration: that men migrate alone because their migrant wages are insufficient to support their families at their destinations; that men are able to migrate because female labor finances the trip and supports the household in the meantime; and that local conditions in Mexico can explain variations in migrant sending rates over time. The project will use a mix of methods, a survey of about 1,000 women in 20 communities (a 10% sample of central valley communities); an extensive life history interview with five women from each community to determine kinship, lineage histories, household consumer-worker ratios, and more traditional ethnographic interviewing and participant observation. This research is important because it will advance our understanding of the causes of Mexican migration to the US. By focusing on the role of women and of local conditions in the originating households the project will contribute valuable new knowledge to complement the existing surveys which focus on males. │/¥Á┤ ╣ ¥©Á └Á╝` ║╝Á│╣¢Á Á┬║Á╝╣_Á¥/% ¥Á│©╣╗┐Á¢ ╝Á╗┐╣╝Á┤ Â?╝ ¥©Á ╣└Á¢¥╣À/¥╣? ? ▓?╝? ©`┤╝╣┤Á¢

该项目询问墨西哥瓦哈卡中央谷的妇女如何在男性成员移徙时管理家庭。墨西哥的这个地区是全国移民率最高的地区之一。该项目涉及亚特兰大Agnes Scott学院的一位人类学家和她在瓜达拉哈拉大学的墨西哥同事，将研究移民家庭中妇女所处理的家庭、住户和资源的性质。研究人员将描述妇女家庭的起源和归属，比较移民家庭和非移民兄弟姐妹的家庭，并描述移民家庭中妇女的经济行为。该项目将检验关于工资对移徙影响的假设：男子独自移徙是因为他们的移徙工资不足以在目的地养活家人;男子能够移徙是因为女性劳动力为旅行提供资金并同时支持家庭;墨西哥的当地条件可以解释移民发送率随时间的变化。 该项目将使用多种方法，包括对20个社区的约1 000名妇女进行调查（中央谷社区的10%样本）;对每个社区的5名妇女进行广泛的生活史访谈，以确定亲属关系、世系历史、家庭消费者与工人的比例，以及更传统的人种学访谈和参与者观察。 这项研究很重要，因为它将促进我们对墨西哥移民到美国的原因的理解。 该项目侧重于妇女的作用和原始家庭的当地条件，将提供宝贵的新知识，以补充侧重于男性的现有调查。 /¥ 您的位置：电驴大全>电影> Hey！Hey！你是说你是谁？?什么？你说呢？© '
