This article addresses the effect of a more open market under NAFTA on the

economic status of Mexican women. It is assumed that increases in export

processing and tourism, industries that have a high demand for female labor,

will result from the agreement. The approach of this study is to use regression

and correlation analysis to compare wage and occupational differences in two

Mexican cities: Tijuana, on the U.S.-Mexican border, and Torreon, in the

interior. A major finding is that the overall wage gap is statistically significantly

lower where there is increased export processing activity, but there appears to

be very little change in occupational segregation. Three additional impacts are:

first, that labor force participation rates increase for both men and women, but

proportionally more for women. Second, the higher labor demand appears to

weaken the relationship between the job qualifications of education and

experience and wages. Third, wages by gender are more equal, but for the labor

force as a whole there is a greater level of wage dispersion.
