"The author presents estimates of interstate migration [in Mexico] by age and gender for the country's overall internal migration and for each of the states, without specifying age or gender, for the five years leading up to the censuses carried out in 1970, 1980 and 1990. Estimates are based directly on census figures. On the whole, internal migration was lowest in the 80s and slightly higher in the 90s than in the 70s." (SUMMARY IN ENG)

"The purpose of this study is to adjust a mathematical function to population development in Mexico between 1940 and 1990 and to measure the degree of congruity between information from population censuses and statistics. The open expologistical function accurately reproduces the development of birth, death and international migration rates." (SUMMARY IN ENG)

The author uses census data to analyze recent trends in nuptiality in Mexico. She notes that "the fact that census data include both married and common-law couples enables...[questions] to be answered at the same time as it allows one to trace the development of the main indexes of marriage rates from 1930 to 1990. Differences between the sexes are established to provide a fuller analysis and a distinction is made between changes experienced by common-law and married couples." (SUMMARY IN ENG)

"This study describes general links between economic development and urbanization in Mexico in the periods from 1960 to 1980 and 1980 to 1990. Changes observed in production structure are compared with the dynamics of urban development, according to the increase in the number of cities, modifications in urbanization levels and increases in absolute urban population size. During the [1980s], there seemed to be a change in Mexico's process of urbanization, characterized by a sudden deceleration and sharp fall in the power of the country's four main metropolitan areas to concentrate large populations as they had done up to 1980."

"The analysis of probable growth rates among families, based on census figures, proved that fertility rates in Mexico began to fall earlier and less selectively than suggested by previous studies. The first changes in reproductive patterns occurred prior to official family planning programs. A state-by-state probability analysis discovered the existence of three groups of states corresponding to the different stages of changing fertility rates." (SUMMARY IN ENG)

"This article summarizes some of the main changes that have taken place in employment [in Mexico] during the '80s by comparing information from the XIth Population Census with other sources. Changes in employment include the increasing number of women in the workplace, participation of the active population and the growth of small-scale economic activities, which in turn leads to a number of other factors."

"The study indicates certain differences in the amount and characteristics of Mexican migration to the United States in the period from 1964-1980 and from 1980-1990. Entry procedures to the United States, migrants' places of origin and destiny, their occupation in both Mexico and the United States, and the length of their stay there are analyzed. Migrants' age and relocation costs are also studied, although emphasis is placed on the need to systematize data from a conceptual and methodological point of view." (SUMMARY IN ENG)
