  • Title: [The effects of rural-urban migration on the age and sex composition of the population: the case of Mexico].
    Author: Stern C, Corona R.
    Journal: Estud Sociol; 1985; 3(9):459-79. PubMed ID: 12315007.
    Abstract:
    The authors examine some consequences of internal migration for the age and sex structure of a developing country population, using the example of rural-urban migration in Mexico. They first review general demographic characteristics of the country's population during the twentieth century. They then trace the demographic development of the population from 1940 to 1970 in two study areas of Mexico: the Federal District and the state of Hidalgo. The impact of migration on family structure and the labor force is considered, and possible future trends are discussed.
