This research analyzes the individual qualities and microeconomicprofiles from mexican workers in Mexico, which underrelative deprivation conditions, take the choice to leave thecountry as an alternative way to improve their life expectations.It is found that mexican assistance programs encompassheterogeneous results and thus, are not a generalized signal ofimprovement for the families. Using a Multinomial Logit specificationwe found that public assistance programs reinforcerelative deprivation of non-migrants families on those whohave relatives who migrated. Human capital attributes presenta direct relation with the process of migration not only fortraditional exporting labor regions, but also for the north-borderof the country. The south supports the relative deprivationhypothesis meanwhile, is not the case for the USA-mexicanborder States.© 2018, Facultad de Contaduría y Administración, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México.
