Abstract

This study uses the 2020 Census to explore the determinants of interstate migration in Mexicobetween 2015 and 2020 and the earnings gains from migration. The study analyzes both spatial characteristics (push andpull factors in the origin and destination states) and individual factors that influence the decision to migrateand where to migrate. Push and pull factors are assessed using a gravity-type model. Individual factors are analyzedusing a multinomial regression model that accounts for migration reasons. Subsequently, the study measures theimpact of internal migration on labor income. Earnings gains are estimated using a double selection model that accountssimultaneously for the decisions to migrate and to work. Finally, the paper discusses some policy recommendationsthat could help leverage internal migration potential for improving women's labor market outcomes.
