Background 1.Mexican Ethno-survey on Family, Migration and Labor, is the main research tool of the Mexican Migration Project (MMP), which since 1982 is in use. 2.Directors of this project are Jorge Durand of the University of Guadalajara and Douglas Massey of Princeton University. 3.After 25 years of fieldwork experience, the MMP is still using the anthropological criteria for selecting communities and corroborates the information field with the new demographic tools available..

Ethnosurvey Family Migration and Labor (MMP) 1. It is an accurate and reliable method of data collection and a representative source of documented and undocumented migration to the United States. 2. The survey combines the techniques of anthropological fieldwork and sampling survey methods to conduct a comprehensive study of the chosen migrant communities. 3. The approach draws on the ethnographic traditions of sociology, anthropology, history, psychology, and education, blending them with survey research methods common to economics, political science, sociology and demography.

Aims and Scope of the Project 1.To gather and maintain high quality data on the characteristics and behavior of documented and undocumented Mexican migrants to the United States. 2.To make the collected data available to the public for research and educational purposes, while maintaining the confidentiality of our respondents. 3.To continue to investigate the evolving nature of transnational migration between Mexico and the United States. http://mmp.opr.princeton.edu/home-en.aspx

‒ The Work history of the head of family ( female/ male) or other migrant ‒ Migration experience of the family origin of the head of the family ‒ Social Networks ‒ History of housing and other properties. ‒ Remittances ‒ Undocumented crossings ‒ Return to México Infomation about ‒ Marital history of the household head ‒ Each person with migration experience in México, the U.S.A. and Canada. ‒ Each person requesting legal residence and/or citizenship ‒ Business, requiring investment of huseband or wife

Binational fieldwork ‒ Each year, during the winter months (when seasonal migrants tend to return home), the MMP randomly samples households in communities located throughout México. ‒ Following completion of the Mexican surveys, interviewers travel to destination areas in the United States to administer identical questionnaires to the migrants from the same communities sampled in Mexico who have settled north of the border and no longer return home.
9
‒ The process of selecting communities has traditionally relied on anthropological methods. ‒ Three to five Mexican communities are surveyed each year. The sample size is generally 200 households unless the community is under 500 residents, in which case a smaller number of households are interviewed. Selecting Communities
10
‒ In the pueblos and ranchos, investigators conduct a complete census of dwellings and undertake random selection from the resulting list. ‒ In mid-sized cities and urban metropolises, investigators generally chose a traditional, well-established neighborhood–one not dominated by recent rural-urban migrants. In all cases, the neighborhood must have at least 1,200 enumerated dwellings, from which a random sample of 200 is taken. Selecting Communities
