BRAGA, Fernando  and  MATOS, Ralfo. Who migrates in metropolitan areas? A comparative analysis of people moving in and out. GOT [online]. 2017, n.11, pp.59-81. ISSN 2182-1267.  https://doi.org/10.17127/got/2017.11.003.

Internal migration was a key factor in the Brazilian metropolitan growth driven by the transition from an agricultural economy to the urban-industrial. In the last three decades, however, changes in the intensity and direction of flows and also in the caracteristics of migrants have been going on. Moreover, the latest data show a tendency to signal inversion of net migration in metropolitan areas. This article proposes to examine comparatively immigrants and emigrants of 12 major metropolitan areas of Brazil in demographic and socioeconomic dimensions using the data of 1991 and 2010 Census, allowing a reflection on the recent changes in the Brazilian population mobility and its relation to the process of formation of the urban network.

Keywords : Metropolitan Regions; Internal Migration; Selectivity on Migration; Population Census.
