- Abstract
Labor welfare of day laborers in Mexico, historically, is limited by the characteristics of the agricultural labor market and the precarious working conditions, with the entry into force of the commercial agreement USMCA and what it represents for the agricultural sector. The purpose of this study was to analyze the changes in labor conditions of migrant day laborers associated with the periods of job permanency in the fruit and vegetable production centers, in the period 2009-2019. The analyses were conducted by applying dependency tests and multinomial models, based on data from the National Survey of Agricultural Day Laborers (Encuesta Nacional de Jornaleros Agrícolas, ENJO) and the National Occupation and Employment Survey (Encuesta Nacional Ocupación y Empleo, ENOE). The results indicate the existence of significant changes in the sociodemographic and labor characteristics. That is, there is an ageing process, more human capital, and incursion of women into more precarious activities than men. In terms of labor, there is heterogeneity in the access to contracts, medical services, and to other benefits, according to the labor stay. This sector of the population is in the threshold of a stage of new labor conditions, which corresponds to the transformations of the sector in public policy and to commercial openness.
