摘要:In the context of debate about the so-called metropolitan mutations, the social diversification of the periphery and the trends of the socioeconomic residential segregation, we estimate the impact of internal migration on the educational composition of different intra-metropolitan areas and the residential segregation, measured by the dissimilarity index of several educational groups, in Santiago, Chile. A new methodology developed by CELADE which uses census microdata is undertaken. The results show that migration fosters socio-educational diversification in the periphery and is key for the emergence of high-education zones in historically disadvantaged areas of the periphery. But as opposed to the prevailing narrative, migration does not reduce residential segregation, because it decreases the proportion of high-education population in the inner-city and it increases this proportion in the affluent area.
