The objective of this paper is to measure the performance of formal work in two states of Mexico with different economic vocation: Quintana Roo whose main activity is tourism and Aguascalientes with mainly industrial activity. The work begins by presenting the work context in both states, and later describes the review of literature related to the performance of formal work in Mexico and Latin America. With the official data of the workers affiliated to the IMSS from 1998 to 2019, the best adjustment is identified, with the statistical parameters obtained; the monthly behavior of the first quarter of 2020 is analyzed with classical methodology contrasted with meta-analysis. The results allow us to conclude that in previous periods and during social distancing, the number of IMSS members not only remained at conventional levels, but that in several months the number of registered workers increased.

A participative Action Research was carried out over the protected natural area in the Toluca Snow-Capped Peak in Mexico. It consisted in the development of tourism products in ten communities with communal land [ejido] located within the said area. The aim was to pin down the elements, both objective and subjective, that combined in its construction and to identify the sociocultural meanings typical to these particular regional spaces. It is concluded that the progress in the construction of a tourism product in each communal land relies not only on its potential and social capital, but also in the notions and practices of the actors involved and their synergy with the regional space.
