This article analyzes changes in Mexico’s rural labor market by identifying the main sources of employment and income of rural households for the 2002-2007 period. Quantitative analysis is based on panel data from the Mexico National Rural Household Survey; the results confirm that industry, trade and services are the most important source of income for the rural sector. These findings confirm projections made in literature concerning the loss of relevance of agricultural sector as an income generator, encouraging development of Mexican rural communities. Households were no grouped by income level, which was a constraint for examining in more detail the weight of non-agricultural activities for each group. |
