Abstract

It is common nowadays, the migration of young people from small towns to big cities, a fact that has been happening for several years, but did not have senses in sample surveys, identify the real reasons for theses migrations. Although present in qualitative studies, the personal reasons for migration were presented rare opportunities as reported in Patarra et al. (1997). There are two possible causes for this. On one hand, interpretive theories of migration as a result of regional imbalances in factors of production in particular, work on the other, there is the regularity of the age pattern of migrants who are usually young people, especially males aged 15 to 25 years old. Considering these factors, the present study seeks to identify the reasons why the youth of both the rural and the urban area of the municipality of Jacuizinho migrate to other cities or even to large centers, also identifying the effects of this migration to the city and pointing out possible alternatives to the problem.
