Abstract This paper analyzes how the patterns of socio-economic development affected the migratory flows between municipalities in Brazil. The hypothesis is that the socio-economic dynamics reduced the spatial heterogeneity in 2010 compared to 2000. The empirical strategy is based on clusters of municipal development given by the dimensions of infrastructure, human capital and labor market structure. The results showed a declining inequality between the North and South regions, as well as improvements in most socioeconomic indicators under analysis.

Keywords : Brazil; socioeconomic development; migration.
