Data and operationalization of variables
The Guatemala Migration Survey was conducted in two rural municipalities in Guatemala, located in the western department of Quiché between 2000 and 2002. The sample includes the main towns in the respective municipalities as well as five additional villages that were selected on the basis of their diversity in development patterns and ethnic composition, in order to represent a wide array of possible combinations (Lindstrom and Martinez, 2003). A key benefit of this survey is that it captures information on Children’s work, which is often not included in labor surveys. Data were collected with a survey questionnaire that was administered to household heads and their spouses in two or three
