(UpVery.com) Mar 17, 2010 -- Usually, when female migration to the United States is analyzed, we associate her male migration, under the concept that women migrate alone to accompany her husband, son and even father or brother, leaving aside personal decision to migrate. Fortunately, this traditional view, is gradually moving to a second term to accommodate the works that consider migrant women as objects of study.

Since the eighties to the present, specific studies on female migration has been increasing, especially those dealing deanalizar migrant women in the place of destino1 as well as exploratory studies on the women deported from rights organizations lafrontera human north. Do not forget that the world of undocumented migrant women themselves loconforman women who made it and are in the United States, including those that failed in their attempt and failed to cross, and those who lost their lives in their journey. In this section we present an approach of migrant women, in order to go about building a profile which gives us greater insight to help this population seldom studied and, above all, barely taken into account in the analysis of migration. Women heading for the northern border. The presence of women in the migration process is undeniable.

According to the National Survey of Demographic Dynamics (ENADID 1992 and 1997) found that 21 and 24% of Mexicans who had lived or worked in the U.S. eranmujeres; in the records of requests for the application to the law Simpson-Rodino seidentificó that over 40% of legalization in this way were women; in Censode USA l990, which displays a number of residents origenmexicano, over 45% are women.2 These data indicate that there is an underrepresentation of mujeresen the migration process, due among other things, the methodology applied and Lapoblación studied. For example, official statistics on losindocumentados sport, only 10 to 15% are women, according to añoobservado. This really does not reflect the magnitude of female migration, because considerable anumber of women intersect with forged documents or visas turistaspara avoid risks. Basic features. Although women migrants returned to Mexico by the Border Patrol representasólo a segment for all women who venture to cross into the United States seeking a better future, their study gives us an approach to general characteristics, and we use some data results a encuestaaplicada in Baja California by private groups from the northern border between 1998 and 1999. In this study we observed a significant participation of single women, not excluding married women. According to the study, almost 80% of migrant women deportees are women under 30 years, which confirms that unapoblación quite young, at the height of their reproduction. This situation increases evenmore to note that 57% of them are between the ranges of 15 to less than 25 years, which suggests that it is a labor potentially productive and appropriate wings need for the U.S. labor market.

In previous studies Ofelia Woo, 3, 64% of the women interviewed were located between 20 and 30 years, which coincides with data from civil organizations and confirming the youth of migrant women. The average age of the women deported was 25.7 years, which coincides with the Survey on Migration in the Northern Border of Mexico, 1993-1997 (EMIF), whose average age was 26 years. With regard to educational level, migrant women surveyed found no significant differences. Over 50% of women interviewed on the northern border had studied at least high school. The 3.2% raided a university degree and 2.2% in a technical career. In this regard, it should be noted that nationally, the population reaches this level of schooling does not reach even a quarter. In a study of the National Population Council (CONAPO), the men returned by the Border Patrol had an average of 6.6 years of schooling and laencuesta done by civilian organizations in the northern border on women, the average reached 7 years. The relatively high education is an important element that helps explain in part the easy incorporation of women into economic activities. That is, significant educational attainment, combined with other aspects of natural abilities and skills, used a higher expected open faster. We must recognize the difference in the marital status of women in their decision to migrate, their labor force participation and retention in the United States. The life cycle and the position of women in family structure are central categories for understanding suparticipación in the migration process.

With regard to marital status, nearly half of women surveyed for the study of the organizations civil partnership commitments submitted: 41.7% manifestaronestar married and 8% in free union. The other 50% were unmarried under ciertasmodalidades: separated, widowed, divorced or from a non nupcias.Consecuentemente, studies by Ofelia Woo showed that 43% were single. The above data show us that it's not just the woman who has committed couple that emigrates, as before, but now with the economic circumstances through which it passes the country, including single women are forced to seek greener pastures of employment and unemployment vida.Cuestiones.

Paid work in the United States recently was associated with female migration, and participation in the U.S. labor market was going invisible. But women also migrate for work, and those who migrated for family reunification, when established in the new society are the need to promptly incorporated into the labor market. The main occupations of Mexican migrant women are presented in factories or workshops, private homes (domestic service), restaurants and pequeñoscomercios. It should be noted as a strategy for some women to continue in their jobs, bring family members from Mexico to help them care for children. Most works are semi-skilled or no training, have no benefits and entitlements.

The family is an important element in the settlement of migrants, Through it create strong ties in the new society. There are different ways deconcebir family, 4 transnational families and binational families: the first "families with one or more members in the United States and one or more members residing its country of origin, family binational" when referring to a family consistetanto undocumented immigrants as American citizens or legal residents. "

According to the author, children born in the United States are másrenuentes to return to place of origin of parents. Studies 5 have looked closer to a characterization of transnational families. For him, the family both in a nuclear and extended, are scattered throughout the transnational social spaces, and spend time in one country and seasons on another. They have children, parents, siblings, cousins, uncles, cousins, compadres ycomadres, friends and enemies, on both sides of the border; develop their projects devida in either country. In surveys in Baja California to the women deported, addressed the issue of economic dependents and children. More than half (56.5%) reported having them in their places of origin or the United States, whether children or other relatives. This we could indicate that the percentage of women has a big responsibility to fulfill and that somehow is taking or is dealing with The decision to migrate. The 60.9% of women also said having children, and of these 70.7% have children under 5 years.
