Including most of the common controls identified by the literature, the results show that the rate of male youth ages 19 to 24 not studying and out of work (the so-called ninis), is not correlated with homicide rates during the period 1995 to 2006. However, there is evidence that a positive correlation between male ninis and murder rates arises between 2007 and 2013, a period during which murder rates in Mexico increased threefold. The association between ninis and homicide rates is stronger in states located along the border with the United States, a region particularly affected by organized crime and the international financial crisis of 2008-09. 2016-03-08T23:14:09Z 2016-03-08T23:14:09Z 2016-02 Working Paper http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2016/02/25873511/idle-youth-mexico-trapped-between-war-drugs-economic-crisis http://hdl.handle.net/10986/23885 English en_US Policy Research Working Paper;No. 7558 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research Publications & Research :: Policy Research Working Paper Latin America & Caribbean Mexico
