Description
Summary:Using data from the 2015 Intercensal Survey and the 2010 and 2000 Censuses, this paper analyzes the labor integration of workers from the Northern Triangle of Central America in Mexico. The evidence we present shows that wages and fringe benefits for NTCA workers have been higher than those of Mexican comparable workers, in specific immigrant groups and periods. To confirm these results, we estimate wage and fringe benefit equations with data from the Intercensal Survey and the Censuses integrated, and for immigrants and natives separately.
