  • Based on the concept of cheap labor export-led model, that explains the paper assigned to the Mexican labor in the process of U.S. productive restructuring, this article analyzes the conditions of labor precarization prevailing in the Mexico-U.S. transnational horizon. It is argued that, in the context of the North America¿s economic integration process, Mexico plays the role of a labor reserve for the foreign capital, particularly U.S. This function relies on: i) the conditions of vulnerability and uncertainty that prevail in the labor market in Mexico, both in the formal and the so-called informal sector; II) the large wage differentials that exist between both between countries; III) the requirements of cheap manual labor in the U.S. labor market, and IV) the role of labor migration in the process of U.S productive restructuring.
