Résumé anglais From international to national migration: São Paulo. São Paulo is one of the States of Brazil that has presented one of the highest population growth rates, not only in what concerns natural growth rates but due to its development it has attracted national migrants after having received many foreigners. In 1920 one fifth of the total population of the State of São Paulo was compensed by foreigners, fifty per cent of which beeing Italians. Nowadays the participation of foreign population is only about 2,57% and the percentage of national migrants has raised to 30%, of which are important those proceeding from the States of Minas Gerais, Bahia, Parana and Pernambuco, who sum up to 72.3% of the total of national migrants in the State of São Paulo according to the 1980 Census. In its beginning, international and national migration went mainly to the countryside. Nowadays it assumes an important role in the migration to urban centers ans specially to the area of Great São Paulo and São Paulo city. With the spreading of the capitalist mode of production in Brazil the focus of accumulation is mainly situated in the Southeast in which the State of São Paulo assumes the commanding role in the production of brazilian space. In spite of the economic difficulties that the country undergoes in the last years, with its serious consequences in the level of employment and standard of living of the population, migration movements to the State of São Paulo continue very intensively and especially to the cities that form the Metropolitan Region of São Paulo and to its capital - the city of São Paulo.
