Descrizione

Young Mexicans who return to Mexico after being born or spending a significant part of their lives in the United States often face complex challenges when reintegrating socially. Through qualitative, longitudinal in-depth interviews, this study examines the interplay between the individual characteristics of different categories of young returnees and the economic structures in the Guadalajara Metropolitan Area. The research identifies key assets mobilized as forms of capital during their migratory journeys and explores their role in facilitating economic integration within precarious labor contexts. Despite significant barriers, returnees leveraged assets such as native-level English, bicultural competencies, resilience, and adaptability to achieve sustainable integration. The findings highlight the critical interaction between individual resources and structural conditions, offering insights into how young returnees navigate integration challenges.
