Abstract: The Golden Triangle region, located in northwestern Mexico is characterized as a territory that traditionally expels population. During the period 2000-2015, a new variable was added to the factors contributing to the output of its inhabitants: violence, as the result of the strategy implemented by the federal government to combat drug trafficking in 2006-2012. The objective of this research was to determine to what extent unemployment and violence are related to the emigration process. For this, the volume of migrants from the municipalities of the region was analyzed and the main destinations which they relocate were identified. The results showed that there is a relationship between unemployment and emigration and, to a lesser extent, with the gross rate of homicides. Complementarily, key informant and migrants interviews were performed in order to record the perceptions and meanings that individuals give to their mobility experience and the reasons they considered to do it. The findings show two consequences of the same phenomenon: an unplanned that leaves individuals in extreme vulnerability by not having work, housing or resources to support their displacement, and another of those who emigrated for economic reasons and reported not having intentions of returning to their places of origin as does not provide them with equal employment and income opportunities.
