SOCIAL PERSPECTIVES
Keywords:
Education, Work, Stratification, ExclusionAbstract
In recent times, the increase in the number of mexicans who migrate to United States to be important, in addition the number of people who decide to settle in that country also has increased in recent decades. Mexican migration has implications in both countries, which cover a range of economic, political, and social aspects. One of them is the adaptation process residing migrants in the new society. That topic is relevant because today is observed to migrants and their families will be in order to settle in the host country, which implies, among things, the search for jobs, schools, housing, learning the language, aspects that will define the future of these groups and their descendants. Within this set of aspects, it has been observed that the population of Mexican origin present large educational backwardness in comparison with other migrant groups and non-Hispanic whites. This situation
limits access to the labor market and generates a kind of vicious circle that does not allow the ascent up the social strata of this population group, everything that is discussed in this essay.
