BASTOS, Laura Solís. Profile of Internal Migration in Costa Rica pre and post Approval Dominican Republic-Central America Free Trade Agreement. Rev. Rup. [online]. 2018, vol.8, suppl.1, pp.61-84. ISSN 2215-2989.  http://dx.doi.org/10.22458/rr.v8i0.2185.

This paper focuses on the analysis of census data for the 2000 and 2011 round; for the characterization of the profile of internal migration before and after the approval in Costa Rica of the CAFTA. The results show that in migratory flows, as well as in migratory stages, no significant differences were found in the results obtained. Historically in the study of migrations. employment is one of the main reasons for population mobility; It was also one of the most relevant arguments in the negotiation of CAFTA, as well as during the referendum campaign, the sentence postulated "work for all Costa Ricans" seems to be a promise of campaign that still does not materialize.

Keywords : Internal migration; CAFTA; population; expulsion; attraction and return.
