title: From structural push to chain migration:  notes on the persistence of migration to Ciudad Juarez, Mexico.
abstract: "Spatial differentiation in regional welfare is often assumed to be one of the most important explanatory factors in individual migration behaviour.  By the weight of 'push' against 'pull', migrants walk in step with the unequal distribution of socio-economic opportunities.  In the case of Ciudad Juarez [Mexico], these 'structural factors' only appear to have determined migration in its first stages; especially recently 'non-structural' factors seem to be at the root of the ever-increasing process."
