Sustainability the remittances received in Puebla and Guerrero, Mexico

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to study if there is sustainable development from remittances sent to families in Puebla and Guerrero, Mexico; since remittances represent a fundamental income for families in places with high migratory intensity, hence the importance of carrying out this research. In this research, income from remittances received by families from Puebla and Guerrero was studied, as well as the difference with respect to gender and place of origin. It is an exploratory, descriptive, explanatory and transversal research. The sample was not probabilistic by 50 people in each state, so the sample is a total of 100 people. To collect the data, an instrument was applied to measure the impact of the news received, its use and benefit. The results showed that 33% of relatives of migrants based in the United States of America managed to start a business based on remittances received in Puebla and Guerrero, and there was a greater entrepreneurial spirit on the part of women. Therefore, it can be said that for Mexican migrants and their families, a route to sustainability is the sending of remittances through investment.
