| description | Due to its selectivity, migration affects the composition of the population of the places of destination and origin. Census micro data are processed to obtain matrices of the indicators of migratory flows, which, together with novel procedures, are used to estimate the net, exclusive effect of migration on the composition by sex, age and education of twelve cities in seven countries in the region. This effect is subsequently divided between the effect caused by the exchange with other cities and that produced by the exchange with the rest of the system of human settlements in each country. Below, and as a separate exercise, the effect is divided into that caused by immigration and emigration. The main results of the research are: a) total internal migration (between cities and with the rest of the system of human settlements) continues tending to feminize cities, although no longer because of the selective attraction of women but because of the selective emigration of men; b) internal migration tends to strengthen the intermediate age band and to compress the representation of those under 15 and senior citizens in cities. The combination of these effects on the age structure of the population of the cities increases their so-called “demographic bonus”; c) internal migration tends to slightly depress the educational attainment of cities (even once age has been controlled for); since the exchange with other cities is primarily responsible for this effect, it is inappropriate to attribute it to migration from the countryside; d) as immigration tends to raise the average educational attainment of cities, the reduction observed is due to emigration. These results update, modify and increase the complexity of the existing view of internal migration on cities. Although each city has its specificities and policy recommendations must be based on the reality of each one, migration tends to have mixed effects on cities. On the one hand, they benefit from the effect of certain attributes (such as the demographic bonus) yet in other aspects (such as average educational attainment) they are weakened. Be that as it may, the results suggest that when policies designed to influence migration, in addition to those that are ill-advised and incompatible with international agreements on population involve measures that restrict the free movement of persons, have become irrelevant since the qualitative effects of migration depend mainly on emigration. |

La migración, por su selectividad, afecta la composición de la población de los lugares de destino y origen. Mediante el procesamiento de microdatos censales se obtienen matrices de indicadores de flujos migratorios; con ellas, y usando procedimientos novedosos, se estima el efecto neto y exclusivo de la migración sobre la composición por sexo, edad y educación de doce ciudades de siete países de la región. Luego, este efecto se segmenta entre el originado por el intercambio con otras ciudades y el producido por el intercambio con el resto del sistema de asentamientos humanos de cada país. A continuación, y como ejercicio separado, se descompone el efecto debido a la inmigración y el debido a la emigración. Los principales resultados de la investigación son: a) la migración interna total (entre ciudades y con el resto del sistema de asentamientos humanos) sigue tendiendo a feminizar las ciudades, pero ya no por la atracción selectiva de mujeres, sino por una emigración selectiva de hombres; b) la migración interna tiende a robustecer la franja intermedia de edad y a comprimir la representación de los menores de 15 años y de los adultos mayores en las ciudades. La combinación de estos efectos sobre la estructura por edad de la población de las ciudades acrecienta el denominado “bono demográfico” de éstas; c) la migración interna tiende a deprimir, en general ligeramente, los niveles educativos de las ciudades (incluso una vez controlada la edad); el intercambio con otras ciudades es el responsable principal de este efecto, por lo cual resulta inapropiado achacarlo a la migración desde el campo; d) la inmigración tiende a elevar el nivel educativo promedio de las ciudades, por lo cual el efecto reductor observado se debe a la emigración. Estos resultados actualizan, modifican y complejizan la visión existente en materia de impacto de la migración interna sobre las ciudades. Aunque cada ciudad tiene sus especificidades y las recomendaciones de política deben basarse en la realidad de cada una de ellas, en general se advierten efectos mixtos de la migración sobre las ciudades, ya que se ven favorecidas por el efecto sobre ciertos atributos (como el bono demográfico) pero en otros aspectos se ven debilitadas (como en la educación promedio). Cualquiera que sea el caso, los resultados sugieren que las políticas destinadasa influir sobre la inmigración –amén de desaconsejables e incompatibles con los acuerdos internacionales en materia de población, cuando se trata de medidas que limitan el libre desplazamiento de las personas– han perdido relevancia por cuanto los efectos cualitativos de la migración dependen principalmente de la emigración.
