| Summary: | Introduction: Pasto behaved as a receiver and expeller of population within the Department of Nariño, Colombia, in a context of socioeconomic, political and cultural changes. Objective: To analyze the correlation between socioeconomic, political and cultural indicators of Nariño and recent intradepartmental migration to and from Pasto, according to the 2018 National Population and Housing Census (DANE, 2018). Methodology: Geometric means of contextual variables and migration data were related using Pearson's Correlation Coefficient (r), prioritizing the associations of greater magnitude. Results: The highest correlations were observed in the socioeconomic dimension. Migration, immigration and emigration rates were positively related to the percentage of formal workers and contributory health insurance, and negatively related to net coverage in primary and secondary education. In the political sphere, medium associations were identified with hectares under coca cultivation and forced displacement. Cultural variables showed low links, except for a slight relationship between higher education and emigration. Conclusions: Socioeconomic variables explained recent migration flows in Pasto to a greater extent, compared to the political and cultural dimensions. |
