Migrações internacionais motivadas por estudo: uma análise sociodemográfica dos estudantes estrangeiros radicados no Brasil

Abstract

The study is motivated by mobility characterized as a kind of population movement that is gaining strength in contemporary times, mainly due to the existence of agreements that promote the exchange of students. In Brazil, specifically, the performance of this program has favored the insertion of several foreign students in public and private institutions in the country. Thus, considering the importance of this new type of population mobility in contemporary as well as new characteristics of the actors involved, the goal is to leave this discussion to analyze the sociodemographic characteristics of foreign students living in Brazil. To achieve this goal developed a descriptive analysis based on microdata from the 2010 Census of Higher Education. Results of this empirical analysis demonstrated that there are significant sociodemographic differences between these students, especially when comparing those contemplated by PEC-G, with those who are part of other covenant or other forms of entry.
