Resumen:
This study finds three main motivations for Mexican workers to
participate in Canada's Seasonal Agricultural Workers Program (csawr):
Increasing household livelihood and welfare, investing in farming skills
and assets, and improving children's education and family housing. A
factor analysis and a system of equations are used to find out which
sociodemographic and economic characteristics of the migrants and their
families are associated with each motivation. The most important results
show that having more than four children along with being a farmer are
positively associated with investing in farming skills and assets but
being an agricultural day laborer in Mexico and having less than two
children are not associated with any of the motivations.
