Migração inter-regional, trabalho e sobrevivência: uma abordagem das migrações de Ingaenses para cidades de Santa Catarina

Abstract

The dissertation is situated in the study of population migrations. The objective is to analyze the population migration from the municipality of Ingá to cities in the state of Santa Catarina. Understanding the migratory dynamics of the population from Inga to Santa Catarina is necessary due to its notoriety on the threshold of the 21st century. For this reason, we seek to understand the causes and effects of this interregional migration. Emphasizing the repulsive and attractive factors that are beyond the economic aspect, such as social networks and the significance of the place. For such an analysis, we investigated the impacts and perspectives of the migratory process, adopting as a methodology a descriptive exploratory study with a quantitative and qualitative approach. Data collection was carried out through online interviews, via Google Meet and in person. The analysis of the results indicated the most sought after cities in Santa Catarina by Inga people, their experiences, social ascension, cultural uprooting, acculturation, regional prejudice and finally, the return of some migrants to Ingá. The municipalities of Santa Catarina have become economically dynamic and attractive urban centers in recent decades, and thus, people from Inga, especially young people, have migrated to the South region in search of survival and social ascension in an increasingly selective, exclusive and unequal world. This fact demonstrates the economic fragility of Ingá and as a reflection of this migratory process, stability or even a population decrease can be seen in the last demographic censuses, this process is attributed especially to the departures of its population to other regions of the country and to the low vegetative growth of its population.
