Migration networks in the labor market of flower growing in the State of Mexico (Mexico)

Abstract

This article explains how the flower growing in the South of the State of Mexico emerged. It is exposed, also, how the expansion of this activity coexisted with a migration of the native population to the United States, which left space available to be occupied by labourers who migrate from regions with a greater social vulnerability and precarious employment. So sugar cane producing regions, citrus and coffee were becoming ejectors spaces of workers, and the grower mexiquense region became a recruiter of workers in southeastern Mexico, although ejector of its native population.
