Abstract

This study analyses information about the migration of data-sets of the Demographic Census of 1991 and 2000, migration flows in interstate mesoregion south / southwest of Minas Gerais, according to the microregions of origin and destination. The data show a reversal of balances migration, from negative to positive in mesoregion South / South West in the 1995/2000 period compared to 1986/1991. These changes were decisive in reversing the role of Minas Gerais in the national scenario of migration. The results suggest that the process of space decentralization of population and some economic activities that have occurred in the most dynamic regions of the country, combined with geographical location, not only turned into strategic advantages for the economy of mesoregion South / South West, but also elevated its powers of attraction and retention of population.
