The Service Sector In The Mexican Metropolitan Areas Of Michoacán, 1980-2003

Abstract

The goal of this article is to examine the service sector and its urban space through the analysis of the economic structure of this sector in the metropolitan areas of the state of Michoacán.  The frame of reference for the analysis is the fact that it is not the development of science and technology that drives the process of economic tertiarization but the sale of low income commercial and personal services.
