| contents | Determinants of migration in Brazil: regional polarization and poverty traps André Braz Golgher Carlos Henrique Rosa Ari Francisco de Araújo Junior Demografía Brazil Migration poverty traps human capital model In the present study, we used the neoclassic human capital model as the theoretical foundation for the analyses of the determinants of migration in Brazil. In order to do so empirically, we applied a multiple regression macro model of migration based on the gravity model and on the Poisson distribution. In the empirical model, the number of migrants between Brazilian mesoregions was the response variable, and socioeconomic and criminal regional aspects, as well as geographical dummies were the explanatory ones. The influence of the distance in themigratory process was analyzed and also the power of regional polarization by urban centers. The determinants of migration when applied to migrants in different income strata showed the evidence of poverty traps in the Northeast Region in Brazil, the poorest area of the country. 2008 artículo científico 1405-7425 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=11205608 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=112 Papeles de Población application/pdf Universidad Autónoma del Estado de México Papeles de Población (México) Num.56 Vol.14 |
