The aim of this paper is to analyze the determinants of the first labor migration among the rural population in the Southern of Veracruz state. Using the 1999 Mobility and Social Reproduction Survey in Sotavento Region (Moreso) we apply a discrete- time survival analysis model to three birth generations of men: born before 1950, born between 1950 and 1969, and born in 1970 and later. The results point out different risks and determinants for each generation as a consequence of the changing regional labor context, and particularly, according to the availability of agricultural land.
