Migração: uma revisão sobre fatores institucionais que influenciam a dinâmica migratória em Governador Valadares-MG

Abstract

The international migration of inhabitants from Governador Valadares-MG, especially to the United States, is a remarkable phenomenon that requires reflection on the institutional, cultural, and socioeconomic factors that influence it. This study aims to explore, through a literature review, how institutions play an essential role in shaping and maintaining these migratory flows. Community institutions, such as social clubs and ethnic associations, promote the preservation of Valadarense cultural identity abroad, facilitating the integration of migrants into new social and professional contexts. They provide emotional and practical support, guiding them on legal and cultural issues in the destination country. Family networks also play a crucial role by encouraging new generations to follow the path of migration. This study seeks not only to map the reasons that drive Valadarense migration but also to highlight the importance of institutions as influential factors in this process. The emphasis on these institutions aims to provide insights that contribute to more effective public policies and support strategies that strengthen this migrant community in its globalized context.
