Taking the perspective of migrants as adult children in their families of origin, she considers the factors associated with inception of migration careers, and asks how migration by selected children affects the social and economic organization of the parental household. Fomby s review of theoretical and empirical research shows that the dominant focus on male labor migration overlooks how migrants continue to relate to and influence parents and siblings. She shows that migrant-sending parental households in Mexico are distinctive in their composition, and that migrants continue to make significant economic contributions from abroad.New Americans (LFB Scholarly Publishing LLC)MexicansFamily relationshipsUnited StatesEmigrant remittancesMexicoSociological aspectsHouseholdsMexicoMigrant laborUnited StatesMexicoEmigration and immigrationMexicansFamily relationshipsEmigrant remittancesSociological aspects.HouseholdsMigrant labor306.85/0972Fomby Paula1190221MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910777530003321Mexican migrants and their parental households in Mexico3843908UNINA
