ADAPTIVE STRATEGIES: MIGRATION AND LABOR MOBILITY IN THE CONTEXT OF GLOBALIZATION IN MEXICO

Resumen:
The agricultural crisis that Mexico has experienced for several decades,
intensified by the country's incorporation in the economic processes of
the global economy through neoliberal agricultural policies that
withdrew support for small and medium farmers, has meant, as a
consequence, that the productive units of these farmers are no longer
able to ensure the reproduction of their families. This has made it
essential for them to search for different ``adaptive strategies'' to
acquire the needed means of survival. Among those strategies, we find
``pluriactivity'' and labor migration and mobility. These processes
come into view in the Metropolitan Zone of Leon, which is experiencing a
territorial reorganization, as a result of its integration in the logic
of globalization. This brings new reconfigurations of the ``rural''
and the ``urban'', that is, a new rurality, which is intercrossed by
the precarization of labor, intensifying the processes of poverty and
inequality already in existence.
