| Summary: | Latin American Migration Project is a study to advance
understanding of the complex processes of international migration and
immigration to the United States. In addition to basic demographic
data, the survey gathers information on family composition, fertility,
infant mortality, household head marital history, labor history of the
household head and his/her spouse, and ownership history of properties
and businesses. Furthermore, detailed data on internal migration,
migration to the mainland United States, and multiple aspects of key
United States trips (work experience, income, social networks,
remittances, welfare use, etc.) are also collected. |
