YBANEZ ZEPEDA, Elmyra  and  BARBOZA LARA, César. Recent internal migration trajectories in the Metropolitan Area of Monterrey: Characteristics, origins and destinations at the municipal level, 2010. Estud. demogr. urbanos [online]. 2017, vol.32, n.2, pp.245-281. ISSN 2448-6515.  https://doi.org/10.24201/edu.v32i2.1722.

The 2010 Population and Housing Census cites Nuevo León as the state with the largest proportion of municipal migration in relation to the total population (10.6%), surpassing the State of Mexico and Mexico City. The aim of this paper is to analyze the recent migration dynamics in the Monterrey metropolitan area at the municipal level. The results yield three main findings: the municipalities of origin and destination indicate a flow from the center to the periphery; the predominant migration pattern is intrametropolitan; and the socio-demographic profile of immigrants differs by municipality.

Keywords : internal migration; socio-demographic profile; intrametropolitan mobility; municipalities; Monterrey Metropolitan Area.
