Résumé: | Any strategy oriented towards reducing the migration of Mexican workers to the United States by modifying living conditions in the "migration sending regions" must first identify and acknowledge these zones.In a preliminary survey in the state of Zacatecas, we identified those municipalities which contribute most to the migration of Mexican workers to the United States; later, we corroborated our findings in situ and drew up an approximation of the geographic and economic characteristics of those municipalities, which make up a "migration sending zones or regions" in the state. This information was documented in a report entitled "Zacatecas: Labor migration sending areas. A Preliminary Approximation", which we recently presented to the Commission for the Study of International Migration and Cooperative Economic Development. This article is a synthesis of this report.
