| Título: | A comparative analysis of changing socioeconomic and demographic dynamics of international migration in the emigration hotspots of Colombia and Brazil |
| Autor(es): | Gisela Patricia Zapata Araujo |
| Resumo: | Latin America is a vibrant region of origin, destination and transit for international migration. The last census round suggests that the region’s migration pattern is characterised by some long-term continuities, as well as changes in the volume and direction of flows, and in the composition and characteristics of migrants. In 2016, 18% of all international migrants originated in the region – 33 million people –, which received around 16% of global remittances flows – US$ 73.1 billion. Thus, migrants have emerged as a current and potential social, economic and political force and key agents to be incorporated into sending countries’ national development plans. Although the debate on international migration and remittances in Latin America has advanced considerably in recent years, much remains to be understood in relation to migrants’ changing socio-demographic characteristics, their transnational practices and their potential broader impact on socioeconomic development at the micro, meso and macro levels in the region (CEPAL, 2016). In addition, there is a shortage of interdisciplinary and comparative studies (among countries, groups of migrants, etc.) of these impacts in migrants’ societies of origin and destination. This paper aims to contribute to filling this lacuna through a comparative analysis of the changing socioeconomic and demographic dynamics of international migration in the Coffee Region of Colombia and Governador Valadares, Brazil, the main hotspots of international emigration in these countries. It also reflects on the socioeconomic and political implications of these dynamics at the micro, meso and macro levels in these regions. The paper employs an interdisciplinary, mixed-method approach that includes analysis of census data and other quanti-qualitative secondary data in order to qualify the complexity of migration processes at the regional and national levels. This is the first systematic attempt to compare these data in these emigration hotspots. |
