“…Moreover, a more refined understanding of migration between sectors, considering intraurban flows, in particular, may be significant. Intraurban flows constitute a considerable proportion of internal migration flows (Cattaneo and Robinson 2020; Pérez‐Campuzano, Castillo Ramírez, and Galindo Pérez 2018; Montgomery et al. 2003), and although such flows would not contribute to urbanization, they may explain individual city growth or highlight the role of secondary towns in the urbanization process (Christiaensen, Weerdt, and Todo 2013; Jedwab, Christiaensen, and Gindelsky 2015).…”

Across the world, populations have transitioned to inhabiting urban spaces, and in low‐ and middle‐income countries the proportion of people living in cities is expected to continue to increase. Anticipation of this fundamental process calls for a better understanding of the demographic factors that drive the urban transition. By indirectly estimating the joint contribution of migration and administrative reclassification to urban transition in 129 countries using urban and rural population by age and sex data available from the United Nations over 1985–2015, we find that differences in natural increase between the rural and urban sectors explain most of the urbanization over the 30‐year period examined. Over the urban transition, the role of migration and reclassification declines and becomes negligible. Despite data limitations, we confirm that it is misleading to view migration as fueling urbanization in low‐ and middle‐income countries.

“…However, there is evidence that large numbers of migrants have eventually returned to Mexico and thus we do not expect international migration to significantly affect the distribution of ancestry in the medium run (Pew Research Center, 2015). The previous considerations only apply to country‐level ancestry estimates, as internal migration in Mexico increased after the year 2000 to an approximate 3.3% of the population in 2015 (Pérez‐Campuzano, Castillo Ramírez, & Galindo Pérez, 2018). Therefore, the state‐level ancestry distribution today might slightly differ from that of 20 years ago.…”

Objective: Hispanic populations typically show a high prevalence of dyslipidemias, especially of low high-density lipoproteins (HDLs) or HDL cholesterol. Highly admixed populations are ideal groups to clarify the role of genetic ancestry on HDL concentrations, isolating it from that of other factors. The objective of this study was to estimate the association between Native American genetic ancestry and HDL-cholesterol levels independent of socioeconomic factors in a representative sample of the Mexican population. Methods: We used data from the Mexican National Health Survey 2000, analyzing 1647 subjects from whom stored DNA samples and HDL measurements were available. To estimate proportional genetic ancestry (Native American, African, and European), we used a 107 genetic ancestry informative marker panel with the software STRUCTURE. To estimate the association between genetic ancestry and low HDL levels, we fitted logistic regression models with the percentage of Native American genetic ancestry, in quartiles, as the main predictor. Results: Mean HDL levels were 38.9 mg/dL, with 62% of subjects having levels below 40 mg/dL. Participants had on average 53.6% Native American, 39% European, and 7.3% African genetic ancestry. Those in the fourth quartile of Native American genetic ancestry had 35% higher odds of having low HDLcholesterol relative to those in the first quartile (odds ratio, 1.35; 95% confidence interval, 0.99-1.81) after adjustment for socioeconomic level and other covariates, although the association is clearly nonlinear. Conclusion: Native American genetic ancestry seems to play a small but distinct role in the development of low HDL cholesterol levels.

An exploratory factor analysis model for slum severity index in Mexico City

2019

Today over half of the world population live in urban areas and it is projected that by 2050, two out of three people will live in a city. This increased rural-urban migration coupled with housing poverty has led to the growth and formation of informal settlements commonly known as slums. In Mexico, 25 percent of urban population now live in informal settlements with varying degree of depravity. Although some informal neighbourhoods have contributed to the upward mobility of the inhabitants, but the majority still lack basic services. Mexico City and the conurbation around it, forms a mega city of 21 million people that has been growing in a manner qualified as "highly unproductive, (that) deepens inequality, raises pollution levels" and contains the largest slum in the world, Neza-Chalco-Izta. Urban reforms are now aiming to better the conditions in these slums and therefore it is very important to have reliable measurement tools to assess the changes that are undergoing. In this paper, we use exploratory factor analysis to define an index of depravity in Mexico City, namely the Slum Severity Index (SSI), based on the UN-HABITATs definition of slum. We apply this novel approach to the Census survey of Mexico and measure the housing deprivation levels types from 1990 -2010. The analysis highlights high variability in housing conditions within Mexico City. We find that the SSI decreased significantly between 1990 -2000 due to several policy reforms, but increased between 2000 -2010. We also show correlations of the SSI with other social factors such as education, health and migration. We present a validation of the SSI using Grey Level co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM) features extracted arXiv:1807.06994v1 [stat.AP] 18 Jul 2018 from Very-High Resolution (VHR) remote-sensed satellite images. Finally, we show that the SSI can present a cardinally meaningful assessment of the extent of the difference in depravity as compared to a similar index defined by CONEVAL, a government institution that studies poverty in Mexico.
