The Impact of International Migration on Occupational Trajectories During the Transition to Adulthood: A Binational Study of Mexicans in the United States and Return Migrants in Mexico Presented: Denver CO, Population Association of America Annual Meeting, April 2018 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Population Association of America Keyword(s): Cross-national Analysis; Hispanics; Migration; Occupational Attainment; Transition, Adulthood Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. The objective of this paper is to explore the trajectories of occupational attainment of Mexican immigrants in the United States and return migrants in Mexico. Following a life course perspective, we are interested in the mechanisms of status attainment for Mexicans with migration experience, and how patterns of occupational attainment vary for immigrants established in the U.S. relative to migrants who returned to Mexico. We compare Mexicans who returned to Mexico to Mexicans still in the U.S. by pooling data from the National Longitudinal Study of Youth 1997 Cohort and the Mexican Migration Project to obtain a binational life history dataset. Our data includes migration and occupational histories, as well as other life course indicators. We estimate Generalized Estimation Equations (GEE) to compare the determinants of entering different occupations, models account for sociodemographic characteristics, migration characteristics, and life course characteristics. |
