Objectives
1. That you recognize in Ethnosurvey a powerful source of
data for:
a. Research on migration and health
b. Information on immigration and labor history of
Mexican families
c. Recreate life stories of migrants
2. Provide technical and operational overview of the
research instrument
3.
Show databases generated from Ethnosurvey and
possibilities of use.

Background
1. Mexican Ethno-survey on Family, Migration and Labor, is the
main research tool of the Mexican Migration Project (MMP), which
since 1982 is in use.
2. Directors of this project are Jorge Durand of the University of
Guadalajara and Douglas Massey of Princeton University.
3. After 25 years of fieldwork experience, the MMP is still using the
anthropological
criteria
for
selecting
communities
and
corroborates the information field with the new demographic
tools available..

Ethnosurvey Family Migration and Labor
(MMP)
1. It is an accurate and reliable method of data collection and a
representative source of documented and undocumented migration
to the United States.
2. The survey combines the techniques of anthropological fieldwork
and sampling survey methods to conduct a comprehensive study of
the chosen migrant communities.
3. The approach draws on the ethnographic traditions of sociology,
anthropology, history, psychology, and education, blending them
with survey research methods common to economics, political
science, sociology and demography.

Aims and Scope of the Project
1. To gather and maintain high quality data on the characteristics
and behavior of documented and undocumented Mexican
migrants to the United States.
2. To make the collected data available to the public for research
and educational purposes, while maintaining the confidentiality
of our respondents.
3. To continue to investigate the evolving nature of transnational
migration between Mexico and the United States.

Binational fieldwork
‒ Each year, during the winter months (when
seasonal migrants tend to return home), the
MMP randomly
samples households
in
communities located throughout México.
‒ Following completion of the Mexican surveys,
interviewers travel to destination areas in the
United
States
to
administer
identical
questionnaires to the migrants from the same
communities sampled in Mexico who have
settled north of the border and no longer
return home.
Selecting Communities
‒
The process of selecting communities has
traditionally relied on anthropological methods.
‒
Three to five Mexican communities are
surveyed each year . The sample size is
generally 200 households unless the community
is under 500 residents, in which case a smaller
number of households are interviewed.
Selecting Communities
‒
In the pueblos and ranchos, investigators conduct a
complete census of dwellings and undertake random
selection from the resulting list.
‒ In mid-sized cities and urban metropolises, investigators
generally chose a traditional, well-established
neighborhood–one not dominated by recent rural-urban
migrants. In all cases, the neighborhood must have at
least 1,200 enumerated dwellings, from which a random
sample of 200 is taken.
