¿Cambiarse de escuela? Inasistencia y rezago escolar de los niños de migración reciente de Estados Unidos a México*

Based on the 2010 population census, this article analyzes the relationship between recent migration of children from the United States to Mexico and school absenteeism and age-grade gaps in primary school. It also examines the differentials in these correlations by rural/urban residence and country of birth. After controlling for their households' cultural, social, and economic capital, the results show that these migrant children run a higher risk for absenteeism and being held back, especially if they live in highly urban areas or were born in Mexico.
