摘要:A high percentage of Chilean economic and human resources are concentrated in Santiago, but there is debate about this pattern’s persistence. Migration is a crucial driver of the redistribution and deconcentration of the spatial distribution of the population. To empirically examine Santiago’s potential deconcentration, specify its territorial scope, and estimate the role of migration in this process, microdata of the last four official censuses of the country are exploited to produce traditional and innovative indicators. Also, other dimensions of deconcentration are analyzed, particularly housing. The results suggest that internal migration has supported Santiago’s real deconcentration since the end of the last century. However, this effect has been counteracted by international in-migration. Additionally, the swing towards net out-migration from Santiago has differed among population groups and, paradoxically, has contributed to strengthening the base of young and skilled human resources in the city.
