Resumen en español In this paper, we study the conditions of economic reintegration of returningmigrants from United States, which is one of the greatest challengesthey face returning to Mexico. To analyze and evaluate the process ofeconomic reintegration, a survey was applied to returned migrantswith the objective of collecting information to identify and determinefour types of mobility. The four types of mobility are: sectoral, labor,income, and job position, considering a before and after the migrationexperience. The results show the reintegration has not been easy inmost cases. In fact, most households improved their economic situationin comparison with their condition before migrating. Additionally, mosthave expectations of returning to the US, or want their children to studyand live there. Therefore, these migrants were not completely satisfiedwith their economic reintegration process. In the end, we propose someguidelines for public policy in economic development and economicreintegration.
