This article explores the use of remittances in migrant households of San Jeronimo Coyula, Puebla, and its impact on their well-being. San Jeronimo Coyula is the hometown of many migrants of the state of Puebla living in New York. Results show that households believe that remittances have significantly improved their life conditions. It is inferred that migration has been and will continue to be the strategy of households to join in globalization flows and move away from the risks of impoverishment in their place of origin.Downloads
