The project is a binational research effort co-directed by Jorge Durand, professor of Social Anthropology at the University of Guadalajara (Mexico), and Douglas S. Massey, professor of Sociology and Public Affairs, with a joint appointment in the Woodrow Wilson School, at Princeton University (US). Since its inception, the MMP's main focus has been to gather social as well as economic information on Mexican-US migration. The data collected has been compiled in a comprehensive database that is available to the public free of charge for research and educational purposes through this web-site. The MMP is a unique source of data that enables researchers to track patterns and processes of contemporary Mexican immigration to the United States. The project is a multi-disciplinary research effort that generates public use data on the characteristics and behavior of Mexican migrants. Aims and Scope of the Project To gather and maintain high quality data on the characteristics and behavior of documented and undocumented Mexican migrants to the United States. To make the collected data available to the public for research and educational purposes, while maintaining the confidentiality of our respondents. To continue to investigate the evolving nature of transnational migration between Mexico and the United States. Where are we located?
