Abstract

Historically, Brazil received international immigrants. Over the last decades, however, started to lose population to other countries. The early data analysis from the 2010 Census suggests that this could be a reversing trend. Through the application of indirect estimation techniques to the 2000 and 2010 censuses, it is noticed that the international migration balance in Brazil, during the 2000 decade, centered around zero. Results may even been positive for that period. This may result from the decreased migration of brazilian residents, or from the increase in foreign immigration. Since migration and census coverage data were not divulged yet, this paper’s conclusions should be taken in preliminary form. Nevertheless, there are evidences of the brazilian participation in the international migration phenomenon as both attraction and repulsion region.
