Abstract

Gross mode, the relationship between migration, health and development has been undertaken through governance, as a result of an identity process that is reduced to the choice of dominant groups such as the dominated and dominated cultures such as migrants. In that sense, the differences between leaders and followers lie in: a) their access to information disseminated by the State in the media; b) its ability to process information, ethics and logic alluding to risk and resilience; c) legitimization of differences based on mistrust of public administration and management. In this way, the objective of this paper is to highlight the limits of the literature consulted with respect to identity, considering as a hegemonic and preponderant factor the explanation of the continuum of: migration, health and endogenous development (local and / or regional). To this end, a non-experimental, exploratory, cross-sectional and correlational study was carried out, with a non-probabilistic selection of 345 workers, including leaders, both migrants and natives from a central Mexican location. The results show that the intentions of occupational health determine the behaviors of the so-called self-care, but these were discussed in light of the findings reported in the literature. There are lines of research with other variables, which explain in detail the sense of community, as well as occupational health and social entrepreneurship.
