Abstract

This paper questions the attention paid to the structure of households as an indicator that influences school trajectories. It examines the trajectories of high school students from Ameca, Jalisco, a municipality with a high and historic migration rate from Mexico to the United States. Using qualitative analysis and statistical data on the region studied, the paper questions the tendency of quantitative studies to present conventional families as ideal spaces for school continuity.
