Capital social e os fluxos migratórios internacionais de brasileiros

Abstract

The migration of Brazilians to other countries is a process deeply based on the social organization of involved groups. Using primary data from representative surveys and secondary data from other sources, this paper aims to highlight the importance of social capital among Brazilians migrants, comparing the outcomes of two different reception countries: United States and Japan. Among other things, the analysis focuses on the association between the availability and use of social capital resources and the spatial distribution of Brazilian immigrants.
