9312042 Stephens, L Rural economies in developing nations are fundamentally altered by a variety of world and local events such as variation in demand for raw commodities or land reforms. This project will evaluate the impact of the recent free trade agreement between the US and Mexico and ejido restructuring on gender and family relations in three sectors: rural ejido communities, non-ejido rural subsistence communities, and in the urban informal sector. Research will focus on regional factors such a changing employment availability, land prices and family dynamics in six sites. The investigator predicts that economic restructuring in Mexico will have different effects on the rural and urban poor in relation to region, gender, age, and ethnicity. The specific topics to be explored in local reserach sites include the gendered division of labor, household, marital and family relationships, migration patterns, political mobilization, and participation in community cultural institutions. Research will be eventually be extended to a total of six sites in Oaxaca and Nayarit. This Research Planning Grant for Women Scientists requests funding for the first 18 months of a five year project to facilitate a pilot study in the state of Oaxaca and to allow the principle investigator time to gather background data to write a three-year NSF proposal to complete the full project. Specific planning activities include: (1) spending part of the 1993-94 summer and academic year in Oaxaca, Mexico to institute a pilot study in three communities; (2) spending one month during the 1994-95 academic year at the Center for US-Mexican Studies in San Diego, California using the data base on ejido household to frame questions and collect background data for the states of Oaxaca and Nayarit; (3) spending part of the investigator's sabbatical year, 1994-95 writing a multi-year NSF proposal to fund the remaining three years of this project; and (4) reading relevant materials available in Me xico and communication with scholars involved in research on agrarian restructuring in Mexico during the 18 month planning period. ***

9312042 Stephens, L 发展中国家的农村经济因各种世界和地方事件（例如对原材料的需求变化或土地改革）而发生根本性改变。 该项目将评估最近美国和墨西哥之间的自由贸易协定以及 ejido 重组对三个部门的性别和家庭关系的影响：农村 ejido 社区、非 ejido 农村自给社区和城市非正规部门。 研究将重点关注六个地点的区域因素，例如不断变化的就业机会、土地价格和家庭动态。 调查人员预测，墨西哥的经济结构调整将对不同地区、性别、年龄和种族的农村和城市贫困人口产生不同的影响。 当地研究站点要探讨的具体主题包括性别分工、家庭、婚姻和家庭关系、移民模式、政治动员以及社区文化机构的参与。 研究最终将扩展到瓦哈卡州和纳亚里特州的总共六个地点。 这项针对女科学家的研究规划补助金要求为五年项目的前 18 个月提供资金，以促进瓦哈卡州的一项试点研究，并让主要研究者有时间收集背景数据，以撰写一份为期三年的 NSF 提案来完成完整的项目。 具体规划活动包括： (1) 利用 1993-94 夏季和学年的部分时间在墨西哥瓦哈卡州在三个社区开展试点研究； (2) 1994-95学年，在加利福尼亚州圣地亚哥的美墨研究中心花了一个月的时间，利用ejido家庭的数据库来提出问题并收集瓦哈卡州和纳亚里特州的背景数据； （3）利用研究者休假年（1994-95）的一部分时间撰写一份多年的 NSF 提案，为该项目的剩余三年提供资金； （4）阅读墨西哥现有的相关资料，并与18个月规划期间参与墨西哥土地改革研究的学者进行交流。 ***
