Abstract
This paper examines migratory flows in and out of Mexico City between 1995 and 2000, and discusses the social and economic characteristics of the individuals involved. Over recent decades, there have been changes in migratory patterns, as the earlier influx of migrants to Mexico City appeared to decrease, and to be overtaken in 1990 by net out-migration. However, figures from the 2000 Mexican census indicate that there is now relative migratory equilibrium. The city continues to be a destination for migrants from poorer states in the country, but it is also an important source of migration to the central and northern states. An examination of the characteristics of the migrants demonstrates that migratory processes are dynamic and complex, responding to a range of economic, environmental, social, cultural and political factors at both origins and destinations.
