NORTHEAST MIGRANTS: RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MIGRATION, SOCIAL MOBILITY AND GENDER
Migration; Social Mobility; Gender differentials; Northeast; intersectionality
The Northeast region, for decades, lost large population contingents, either due to drought, latifundium, unemployment, social / social networks, exhaustion of productive borders, lack of job opportunities and / or study in the homeland. However, although population losses in the Northeast have cooled in recent decades, the region remains with a significant negative migratory balance. The Northeast still migrates and in most cases, in search of jobs, better income, opportunities and / or new places where there is a better quality of life. Therefore, investigating the role of migration in social mobility is a way of assessing the success of migration. In this sense, the objective of this dissertation is to analyze, for the year of 2014, if it is still worth migrating to the Northeasterners. The success of the migration depends, in large part, on the possibilities of jobs generated in the destination region, which differed by gender and race. Therefore, another objective of the work is to analyze, given that migration occurred, whether upward mobility differs by type of migration (inter or intraregional), gender, race and their intersectionalities. The data will be extracted from the 2014 National Household Sample Survey, which has a special module on questions about social mobility, in addition to sociodemographic characteristics and migration. The logistic model will be used to identify whether the act of migrating to the Northeast increases the chances of upward intra-generational social mobility in relation to non-migrants, controlling the analysis by sociodemographic characteristics. And the effect of the type of migration, gender, race and their intersectionalities on the migrant's success will also be assessed through the logistic model, but the response variable will be the upward social mobility of only migrants. It is hoped that the results of this study may contribute to the debate on the most recent migratory movements of the Northeasterners, considering social mobility and the intersectional perspective of gender and race.
