In Mexico, rural employment has decreased and job creation has tended toward positions of unskilled labor, with low wages and no access to social security or retirement pensions (García & de Oliveira 2011). The proportion of agricultural income has decreased in rural family economies, and salaried income and resources stemming from migration have increased—in the form of remittances—as well as public subsidies of programs to combat poverty (Arias 2009, Canabal Cristiani 2011). The National Survey of Rural Households in Mexico (ENHRUM by its Spanish acronym) showed that in 2002 the proportion of net income from agriculture and that from remittances were very similar, at 12.40% and 11.01%, respectively. Wages represented more than half of the income of those households, at 54.15% (Mora-Rivera 2012). Rural parents have ceased to fill the role of providers so that they can become dependents of their children, especially of those children who are international migrants. In poor households, increasing dependency on remittances has undermined the decision-making power and authority of parents (Córdova Plaza 2007).
