Abstract

Internal migration of master and doctoral degree holders in Brazil is a recent phenomenon, but it has intensified over the past decades. The expansion of this movement of skilled labor between the various regions of the country is mainly due to the deconcentration of the National System of Graduate Study (SNPG) and also to the expansion of higher education. The main economic activity (Education) employing this population group is linked, directly or indirectly, to educational policy for higher education. Therefore, to understand this phenomenon it is necessary to understand how the expansion of this educational policy (of the State) has occurred over time, either from the supply point of view (creation and expansion of graduate programs/courses) or from the demand side perspective (hiring teachers for higher education).
