This is an economic research oriented towards understanding a series of socioeconomic relationships that arise in the context of Mexico. The study consists of three empirical chapters, of equal weight, each covering a different relationship and making individual contributions to the literature on the matter and to our general understanding of the social and economic structures that make-up the country.

The chapters can be read in separate, as each focus on a distinct subject. In fact, there is a great degree of independence between chapters, each with its own topic and strand of literature, employing different methods and data, and deriving its own conclusions. In this respect, each chapter is a research on its own. At the same time, these same chapters can be read together and understood as a volume of work devoted towards measuring a series of complex socioeconomic relationships that exist in the country. All chapters spin at the intersection between labour, development, and demographic economics.

Two of the chapters are single authored, the other has been co-written with Panu Pelkonen. In all, the titles are informative of the general theme of the research and are presented in the following order: Chapter 1: \The Impact of Remittances on Crime Levels", Chapter 2: \Intergenerational Persistence of Education: Trends, Causality and Geography", and Chapter 3: \Economics of Minority Groups: Employment and Transmission of Indigenous Languages".
