El presente trabajo plasma un marco teórico conceptual con el objetivo de entender el fenómeno de la invisibilización-hipervisibilización como una opresión mediática que afecta a sectores empobrecidos y, a la vez, trazar una ruta alterna para lograr dar visibilidad positiva a estos segmentos poblacionales. Quiñones Rosado (2007), Quijano (2000), Dussel (2007), Hardiman y Jackson (1997), Bronfenbrenner (1987) y Melano (2001), son algunos de los autores trabajados en este marco.

Minimum wage research has historically focused on labor mobility between covered and uncovered labor markets within a geographic area. This study examines the impact of minimum wage setting on labor migration. A multiple time series framework is applied to monthly data for Puerto Rico from 1970–1987. The results show that net emigration from Puerto Rico to the United States fell in response to significant changes in the manner in which minimum wage policy was conducted, particularly after 1974. The extent of commuter type labor migration between Puerto Rico and the United States is influenced by minimum wage policy, with potentially important consequences for human capital investment and long-term standards of living.
