It built a model of household economies using ordinary least squaresregression with data collected through a probabilistic survey in four communities. Especial care was taken to avoidmulticollinearity problems. The study communities are situated in Oaxaca state, Mexico in two contrasting climaticenvironments that present different conditions to access the markets. The resulting model not only identifies thehouseholds＇ market strategies but also measures the impact of households＇ decision-making about allocation ofresources on the household wellbeing. Contrary to the discourse on Mexico-US migration, this paper shows that therural households＇ labor for international migration is shrinking. A process of diversification of income sources isalready going on in rural areas, therefore, households rely increasingly on wages, family businesses, andgovernment transfers; besides, they complement their income with subsistence production and transfers from otherhouseholds. Finally, it was found that in some cases the simultaneous allocation of material and socio-demographicresources to economic activities and labor markets could restrict the increase in household wellbeing if thedemographic structure is already altered.展开更多
