Abstract

El analisis forma parte del proyecto IMIN, orientado a realizar investigaciones en profundidad sobre la migracion interna a partir de los ultimos censos de poblacion. El enfasis se situa en la descripcion del fenomeno en Guatemala, durante 1976-1981 y la poblacion bajo estudio es aquella nacida en Guatemala que vivio en el pais hasta la fecha del censo y 5 anos antes. Los migrantes son personas cuya residencia habitual en 1981 era distinta de aquella en 1976. Guatemala, Esquintla y El Peten son los departamentos de inmigracion por excelencia por ser la sede de la capital, y por su desarrollo agrario. Las mujeres se dirigen hacia el departamento de Guatemala, independiente del grupo etnico; la migracion es selectiva por edad y los grupos en que se producen los desplazamientos mayores se situan entre 15 y 24 anos. Las migrantes son algo menores que los hombres migrantes y los no indios migran mas que los indios; entre estos ultimos, predominan los hombres.
