Migration and the population structure of the Metropolitan Region of Belo Horizonte in 1991-2010

Resumo

This article analyzes the implications of migration on the populational structure – by sexes and age – in the Metropolitan Region of Belo Horizonte between 1991 and 2010. Using information from the 2000 and 2010 demographic censuses, migrations in the region's municipalities were estimated. The populational structures in 1991, 2000, 2010 and 2022 were represented and analyzed, in light of the migrations that occurred in the period, and a brief explanation was given of what the data currently available from the 2022 Demographic Census suggest. The results obtained indicate a reduction in the intensity of migration in the region between the 1990s and 2000s and direct relationships between net migrations and the age structure and the rate of aging of the metropolitan population.
