Pobreza y vivienda en Guadalajara, México, de 1980 a 2020
En México, el acceso a la vivienda ha sido siempre un problema, pero también han ocurrido cambios paradigmáticos. Un análisis diacrónico de las condiciones y estrategias de los hogares urbanos pobres para adquirir una vivienda, desde la autoconstrucción hasta la propiedad basada en la deuda hipotecaria, enfatiza cómo el cambio de política habitacional exacerbó la tendencia hacia el agotamiento de recursos y el aislamiento social. Con base en el p…
Poverty and Resilience in Mexico
Resilience has become the dominant conceptual framework through which the changing lives of the poor are understood. Across the disciplines, resilience is taken to be an analytic measure of the capacity to resist, adapt, and transform itself in the impact of a given disturbance or crisis. Critical engagement with the concept and associated literature, however, shows this framework to be neither original nor competent in providing the heuristic to…
Of Morals and Markets
Based on longitudinal ethnographic research in Guadalajara, Mexico, from the 1980s to present, I argue that there has been a significant change in the availability of mutual help or support networks for the economically disadvantaged. As time and income have become increasingly scarce, people who used to find support in reciprocal social relationships now find that support-givers are in no position to provide assistance for free. Now, people expe…
Indigenous Girls in Rural Mexico
For as long as national records have been kept, Indigenous rural girls in Mexico have spent the least amount of time in school (aside from some people with disabilities). An innovative social program was designed in the 1990s that aimed to stop the intergenerational transmission of poverty through the provision of cash transfers (higher for girls than for boys) to families, conditional upon their children’s attendance at school and health clinics…
Empleo e intercambio social en México
Este artículo indaga la relación entre el empleo y el grado de confianza en acceder a favores/ayuda con datos de la Encuesta Nacional de Ingresos y Gastos de los Hogares de 2008, 2010 y 2012. Los resultados indican que el empleo estable y protegido se vincula a grados más elevados de confianza y que la precariedad laboral se asocia a una menor confianza en el acceso al intercambio de favores. El dinero y el tiempo son recursos clave para particip…
Choices or Constraints? Informality, Labour Market and Poverty in Mexico
The Construction of the Myth of Survival
A myth has come into being that the poor household/family is able to survive in spite of a lack of resources and the presence of macroeconomic policies that foster unemployment and poverty. It has an accompanying fable that tells of how the poor manage to implement survival strategies that are based on their endless capacity to work, to consume less and to be part of mutual help networks. This myth has become a useful tool for policy makers as th…
Vanishing Assets
This article attempts to generate a new understanding of economic change and household responses in Mexico. It reflects on the changing conditions of survival and reproduction among the Mexican urban working poor in a socioeconomic context of diminishing income-generating opportunities. The author argues that rising poverty has had serious effects on dimensions (beyond economic) of the lives of the poor—in particular, the erosion of the capacity …
De los "Recursos de la Pobreza" a la "Pobreza de Recursos" y a las "Desventajas Acumuladas"
This paper derives from a LARR-sponsored forum at the LASA 2003 Congress held in Dallas in March 2003. Targeted at younger scholars, a panel of leading researchers whose early work was shaped by marginality and dependency thinking of the 1960s were invited to reflect cross-generationally about how paradigms analyzing poverty in Latin American cities have shifted from that time to the present. Specifically, each of the authors compares "marginalit…
De Los “Recursos De La Pobreza” a La “Pobreza De Recursos” Y A Las “Desventajas Acumuladas”
Mi contribución a esta discusión necesariamente lleva el sello de las investigaciones que he realizado a lo largo de dos décadas, los ochenta y los noventa, en el México urbano. Se trata de un período de cambios vertiginosos, dos décadas trepidatorias marcadas por las fuertes sacudidas de profundas crisis económicas. Mi búsqueda se aparta de las miradas estáticas para dar cuenta de algunos de los cambios más importantes en la organización social …

From the Resources of Poverty to the Poverty of Resources
Household-focused research has made crucial conceptual contributions to the ways in which scholars understand the survival of the urban poor. Rich in new data and ideas as this wave of studies has been, gaps in our knowledge persist. In particular, the persistence of economic crises in the developing world since the early 1980s has led me to wonder about the usefulness of existing analytical tools for the assessment of current social conditions. …

Crisis, restructuring and urban poverty in Mexico
This paper describes the scale and nature of urban poverty in Mexico and how it changed during the 1980s and early 1990s. The authors draw on their own research in Guadalajara and on other studies in Mexico and in other Latin American countries to consider how men and women within households responded to rising prices, falling incomes and other economic and social problems. The paper also includes a review of how poverty and inequality have chang…

Economic Crisis, Domestic Reorganisation and Women's Work in Guadalajara, Mexico
Mexico is currently undergoing a profound economic crisis characterised by a very high rate of inflation (more than 150 per cent in 1987) and a general shrinkage of the economy (virtual absence of investment, increased un? employment and so on). One of the major problems for the vast majority of the population is that salaries have not increased at the same pace as prices: while the inflationary process was slow during the first half of the 1970s…
