摘要: Internal migration has quantitative and qualitative effects on the Metropolitan Area of Greater Santiago (mags). These effects can influence the demographic and socio-economic development of mags, of which academic hypotheses and political arguments have been found. To estimate these effects, the authors used the latest censuses-with the exception of year 2012-and casen (Socio-economic Characterization) surveys, as well as new methodologies. The results show a gradual loss of attractiveness of mags, although they also reveal that this trend has irregularities and partially depends on the geographic definition of the mags. The results also show that the effects of internal migration on the socio-demographic composition of mags are beneficial for the metropolis because it rejuvenates and increases the educational level of the population, which contributes to strengthen the dominant position of mags within the network of cities.
