Renda e Migração na Região Metropolitana de Belo Horizonte

Abstract

The intrametropolitan migration represents an important element of analysis for understanding urban expansion of Brazilian metropolises. This article aims to present the analysis of the role played by the income in the intrametropolitan migration decision in the context of Belo Horizonte Metropolitan Region. Based in IBGE census information in 2000 and 2010, internal migration flows were considered from the metropolitan main town (Belo Horizonte) to the other municipalities, as well as in the opposite sense, organizing information according to income. The results both for 2000 and 2010 shows that Belo Horizonte has different migratory balances that vary with income.
