Abstract

Individuals’ socioeconomic and demographic characteristics have always impacted their occupation. However, few empirical studies with census data have researched how migration affects occupation. Therefore, this paper aims to analyze the determining factors of occupation in migrants and non-migrants aged 15 to 60 years in Brazilian municipalities. The data are taken from 2000 and 2010 Brazilian Demographic Censuses. The literature is reviewed, and then multinomial logistic regressions are used. The results show that fixed-date inter-municipal migrants in Brazil experience worse forms of insertion in the labor market than non-migrants in both censuses under analysis.******Las características socioeconómicas y demográficas de los individuos siempre han afectado su ocupación. Sin embargo, pocos estudios empíricos con datos censales han investigado cómo la migración afecta la ocupación. Por lo tanto, este trabajo tiene como objetivo analizar los factores determinantes de la ocupación en migrantes y no migrantes de 15 a 60 anos en municipios brasilenos. Los datos se han tomado de Censos demográficos brasilenos de los anos 2000 y 2010. Se revisó la literatura y luego se utilizaron regresiones logísticas multinomiales. Los resultados muestran que, en los dos censos que se sometieron a análisis, los migrantes intermunicipales de fecha fija en Brasil experimentan peores formas de inserción en la ocupación que los no migrantes.******As características socioeconomicas e demográficas dos indivíduos sempre afetaram sua ocupacao. No entanto, poucos estudos empíricos utilizaram dados do censo para investigar como a migracao afeta a ocupacao. Portanto, este trabalho tem como objetivo analisar os fatores determinantes na ocupacao que migrantes e nao migrantes, entre 15 e 60 anos, exercem nos municípios brasileiros. Os dados foram obtidos a partir dos censos demográficos brasileiros de 2000 e 2010. A literatura foi revisada e, em seguida, foram utilizadas regressoes logísticas multinomiais. No Brasil, os resultados mostram que, nos dois censos analisados, os migrantes intermunicipais de data fixa experimentam piores formas de insercao ocupacional do que os naodeixei uma migrantes.
