MIGRATORY DYNAMICS IN RIO DE JANEIRO STATE POST 2010: THE PROFILE OF THE LOCAL IMMIGRANT

Abstract

Based on the PNADs microdata (2011 to 2015), the paper analyzes the interstate migratory matrices of Rio de Janeiro and characterizes the immigrant profile. The analysis shows that the economic and financial crisis of 2014 is associated with a reduction in the state migration balance, whose magnitude was probably no longer significant due to the inertial nature of their migratory flows (existence of networks between regions of origin and destiny). Relative selectivity (and stability) is observed in the migratory process: immigrants tend to be white men, with stable marital status and with high levels of education. There is evidence of increased migration of women and black and brown individuals.
