We assessed the association between educational aspirations and the intention to migrate among 1,446 adolescents aged 11-17 years, living in semi-urban/rural communities in Jalisco, Mexico. Analyses rely on survey data from the Family Migration and Early Life Outcomes study. The outcome variable was the intention to migrate, a three-category variable coded as no intention to migrate, intention to migrate within Mexico, and intention to migrate internationally. The main independent variable was the adolescents' educational aspirations, conceptualized as the intention to achieve higher education. Multinomial logistic regression models were used to examine associations. We found an association between educational aspirations and intentions to migrate, and it was moderated by gender. Girls with the highest educational aspirations intended to migrate internationally, while higher educational aspirations were not a driver for boys' migration intentions. The study findings have implications for education and migration policies and future research.
我们评估了墨西哥哈利斯科州半城市/农村社区中1446名11至17岁青少年的教育抱负与移民意愿之间的关联。分析依赖于家庭移民与早期生活结果研究的调查数据。结果变量是移民意愿,这是一个分为三类的变量,编码为无移民意愿、在墨西哥境内移民意愿和国际移民意愿。主要自变量是青少年的教育抱负,概念化为接受高等教育的意愿。使用多项逻辑回归模型来检验关联。我们发现教育抱负与移民意愿之间存在关联,且这种关联受性别影响。教育抱负最高的女孩打算进行国际移民,而较高的教育抱负并非男孩移民意愿的驱动因素。研究结果对教育和移民政策以及未来研究具有启示意义。
