Abstract
In the central region of Mexico where the great national metropolis is loca ted, the principal industrial states underwent, during the eighties, a seve re economic crisis that led to a process of industrial restructuring, a cut back in immigration, a striking rise in emigration, and therefore a negativ e migratory balance for the region. In the first half of the nineties, howe ver, those states and the region as a whole partially recovered their econo mic and migratory dynamism.
