| Summary: | This article aims to evaluate migration and commuting indicators of the resident population in selected municipalities of Pernambuco and Paraíba, where a cluster of garment industry and trade is located, in parallel to the evolution of indicators of population occupied in economic activities that characterize the territory. The analysis is based on the Demographic Census data of 1991, 2000, and 2010. The municipalities were classified into three groups according to the historical relevance to the cluster development and the proportion of the population occupied in activities related to the garment industry and trade. It was found that the total population of the cluster increased its participation in the corresponding states due to migration inflows, a fact confirmed by the net migration rate, but with important differences between municipalities. There was also increasing participation of those occupied in the referred activities. Evidence was found of the overflow of activities linked to the garment industry from the economic center to the cluster's peripheral municipalities. Finally, the expansion and increase of work commuting flows were observed, together with the greater integration of the municipalities in the cluster due to the current configuration of commuting and migratory flows. |
