Re: FW: RE: Query

Rick Mines is the Research Director at the California Institute for Rural

Studies. They have great information on their website:

www.cirsinc.org

I can also share with you some information on sending states/villages

that we collect as part of our male research/outreach program, Pocos

HIjos Para Darles Mas. We use a convenience sample, it's not

scientifically valid but it gives you an idea of shifts in

migration. For example, we used to see mainly folks from

Tamaulipas, Guanajuato, Guerrero, Hidalgo and Michoacan and now we see

increasing numbers of Chiapanecos, Mixtecos (Oaxaca) and

Guatemalans.

Good luck!

Mimies (Last name SP?) agricultural consultant for DOL in Berkley U

California has done a great deal of research on migrant workers. He has

good

information. I hope this is helpful.

Subject: [ ] Query

I have been trying to locate data on trends in migration,

particularly

temporary migration, to the U.S., or to states or regions of the U.S.

or

states by largely unaccompanied males from Central and South America,

who

engage in agricultural and non-agricultural activities. I have

recently

located some very useful information from the 1997-98 National

Agricultural

Workers Survey, but I would welcome information on other sources

(articles,

websites, persons, organizations, etc.) that track migration streams

over

time and to changing destinations.

I have also been looking for information on seroprevalence or estimated

AIDS

rates among these same migrant men and potentially their partners

relative

to other groups that are usually reported in surveillance reports. I

have

not been able to locate many details other than some summary

information

based on earlier reports issued by the Migrant Health Program of the

Bureau

of Health Care and Delivery and Assistance of DOL (1990) and the

national

Commission to Prevent Infant Mortality (1993). Once again, I would

welcome

information on other curent sources, and sources track trends.

Thanks in advance to any subscribers who have ideas to share.
