Abstract

This article discusses methodological procedures used to obtain indicators of standards and levels of migratory movements. The objective is to understand processes for estimating functions of migration based on the Demographic Censuses of 1980 and 1991, and studies that propose methods for estimating migration were analyzed. The proposal by Machado (1993) for calculating specific rates of emigration (TEEx) from data on the last stage of residence is very efficient for estimating migration functions. But adjustments in the calculation of the TEEx are made to obtain more consistent patterns of migratory functions. In tne case of the 1991 Brazilian Census, rates were also estimated using data from fixed dates. This article also proposes an alysis of the level of migration using the Total Emigration Rate (TET). These techniques were applied to migration to Goiás and the Federal District, with analysis of the pattern and level of the demographic flows.
