In the first place, although the XII Census neither provides information on the familial arrangements that appeared with migration nor migration prior to 1995, it seems as though migration from Nayarit and Hidalgo is present in households with particular characteristics, since households with remittances have heads in advanced ages, with a low schooling level, are married or united, with an important participation of women as heads, they are located mainly in rural localities, mostly nuclear and extended households, small in size and they own a house, with presence of migrant members and migrants returning from the U.S. between 1995 and 2000; in the second place, the important participation of women as heads of family in remittance-receiving households in Nayarit and Hidalgo may be linked, directly or indirectly, to masculine migration, as we have shown that an important percentage of households with feminine heads receive remittances.
En primer lugar, aunque el XII Censo del 2000 no permite conocer los arreglos familiares que se presentaron con la migración ni la migración anterior a 1995, tal parece que las migraciones nayarita e hidalguense se presentan en hogares con características particulares, toda vez que los hogares con remesas tienen jefes en edad avanzada, con bajo nivel escolar, son unidos o casados, con una importante participación de las mujeres como jefas, son principalmente de localidades rurales, en su mayoría hogares nucleares y ampliados, de menor tamaño y con vivienda propia, con presencia de miembros migrantes y de retorno de Estados Unidos entre 1995 y 2000. En segundo lugar, la importante participación de las mujeres como jefas en los hogares nayaritas e hidalguenses con remesas puede estar asociada, directa o indirectamente, con la migración masculina, pues hemos mostrado que un porcentaje importante de hogares con jefas mujeres reciben remesas.
