The internal migration has been changing in Brazil and Latin America since XXs. Between 1930 and 1970, the rural-urban flows as result of industrialization and regional inequalities were very intense and important to urban growth and shaped national patterns of human settlement.
In Brazil, since the 1980s the deceleration of the economy increased the return migration and flows between cities became prevailing, with a more complex spatial dynamic of migration (Dota & Ferreira, 2020). In the period from 1990s and 2010s, this complexity increased as a result of the open market economic system and privatization processes (Rodrigues & Rowe, 2018) and brought the question: is it still possible to identify a migratory pattern in Brazil? (Brito, 2015).
Nowadays, the reduction in natural growth as a result of the low level of fertility has grown up the internal migration as the main phenomenon to the human settlement patterns, especially in large cities, where movements gain even more relevance in the processes of urban sprawl, but also the sociodemographic modification of already consolidated areas.
In the face of the limits of the Brazilian Demographic Census for understanding the constant transformations in migration, we are proposing a quanti-quali framework. In this framework, we seek to analyze the relationships between changes in the family and the new pattern of residential mobility. Our hypothesis is that the lack of opportunities in large cities that shapes the residential mobility impacts all the Brazilian migratory system, as they are the destination of the main internal and international migration flows. The changes in the family dynamics represent a key element for understanding the local sociodemographic dynamic that resonates in the local, meso and macro migratory system (Sobrino, 2020) as result of the role of large cities in the Brazilian urban system.
