Abstract

This proposal is the result of an investigation carried out among a group of undocumented Mexican migrants, located in the state of Texas, United States, and who, due to their immigration status, constitute a vulnerable group with the latent risk of being deported to their country of origin (COO).

The purpose of the study is to offer a characterization of the Human Capital of migrants, based on information that includes age, gender, schooling, origin, family dependents, length of stay in the country of residence (COR), immigration status, occupation, health conditions, English proficiency, labor experience and skills. This profile makes it possible to identify the entrepreneurial potential that migrants can offer in the event that they return to their COO and to have the possibility of designing strategies and public policies that allow this group of people to be reintegrated into sustainable economic activities.
