          Abstract

          El impacto de las remesas monetarias en las condiciones socioeconómicas de las comunidades de origen de la migración mexicana a Estados Unidos ha sido objeto de un amplio debate que se ha reavivado en los últimos años. En la primera parte de este artículo se analiza la literatura dedicada al caso mexicano desde los años setenta hasta la actualidad. Se presentan las perspectivas estructuralista y funcionalista que han dado cuenta del fenómeno y se hace una caracterización económica de las remesas como fondo salarial de los migrantes. En la segunda parte se presentan los resultados de un estudio de caso realizado en Teocaltiche, Jalisco, que explican el papel de las remesas en la reproducción económica de los hogares y en el financiamiento de actividades productivas locales.

          Translated abstract

          The effect of remittances on the socioeconomic conditions in Mexican communities that send migrants to the United States has been the object of a broad debate that has revived in recent years. The first part of this article analyzes the literature on the Mexican case from the 1970s to the present. It presents the structural and functionalist approaches that have analyzed the phenomenon and the economic character of remittances as a salary fund for migrants. The second part presents the results of a case study from Teocaltiche, Jalisco, which illustrates the role remittances play in the economic reproduction of households and in financing local productive activities.

              Remittances and inequality: a question of migration stage and geographic scale.

              R Jones (1998)
              The impact of migrant remittances on the place of migrant origin is examined using data from a 1988 household study undertaken in central Zacatecas state, Mexico. The focus is on whether remittances tend to increase or to decrease income inequalities. "Interfamilial inequalities are found first to decrease and then to increase as a place's migration experience deepens. Throughout this experience, however, rural incomes improve relative to urban ones, since remittances are targeted to the predominantly rural areas of origin."
