Migração e mobilidade pendular nas áreas de influência das principais metrópoles brasileiras

Abstract

At various moments in time, population mobility has served as a driving source of profound social and economic transformations in the regions of origin and destination in Brazil, not only as a consequence of structural needs. In addition to the traditional migratory flows, commuting mobility has also assumed an important role in the process of production and organization of spaces, especially at the regional level. Considering this aspect, this paper aims to evaluate the influence of migration on the phenomenon of commuting in the Areas of Influence (AI) of the main Brazilian metropolises, based on the sample microdata from the 1980 and 2010 Demographic Censuses. In a first approach, comparing these two census decades, the results show that there was a significant increase in the incidence of commuting, both in terms of volume of people and regarding the number of vectors. In addition to this fact, the data also allow us to observe that there is a considerable decrease in the proportion of the decade's migrants in intra-regional commuting, as well as an increase in the share of natives from the city where they live in the composition of these commuting movements.
