Summary
Pursues two objectives: 1) to determine how quality of life in Mexico has been affected by trade liberalisation in North America. Focuses on the microlevel of people and their communities, on changes in household income, paychecks, rural employment and agricultural production. Explores the implications of these for migration and environmental quality and asks about the role of NAFTA in promoting these changes; 2) to offer insights for other countries, especially in Latin America, that wish to strengthen their economic ties within the region.
