Dinâmica intergeracional educacional no brasil: um estudo sobre as famílias migrantes, seletividade e efeitos do ambiente

Abstract

The main objective of this study is to analyse the dynamics of intergenerational educational mobility in Brazil comparing the families of migrants and nonmigrants of the main regions of origin and destination of migration, in 2000. For this purpose, we used the 2000 Census microdata from the IBGE. Empirical analysis was separated into two parts. First we used the Markov transition matrices to measure the degree of intergenerational persistence, and the second time an employee has been ordered logit model in order to estimate the main determinants of intergenerational educational mobility. The results show that the degree of mobility is higher for migrant families compared to families native to the region of origin and destination region. It appears that the effect is significant family influence on the rate of accumulation of human capital of children. However, when families flock to areas where the local effect is less severe than the overall effect or external, the persistence of parents with lower levels of schooling becomes smaller. This could be linked to the fact that the family would have better educational opportunities, since the places of destination would be better offer of public services, compared to the birthplace.
