Abstract
The population dynamics in the metropolitan space is related to the social organization of the territory, in which the various elements of the urban structure—such as access to housing, the labor market, services, and mobility system, among others—influence the conditions of reproduction, movement and location of different social groups in space. The objectives of this work are to analyze some recent aspects of population movements in the Metropolitan Region of Rio de Janeiro and assess how this population dynamics helps to explain the changes in the social organization of its territory. Moreover, given the population aging that currently affects all areas of the metropolis, spatial mobility is considered an important element to understand the present metropolitan dynamics.

Notes
- 1.
The term metropolis as used in this paper assumes the meaning of “metropolitan centers that are characterized by leading roles in land management, large, strong relationships between the municipalities, and large area of direct influence,” according to a report by the Observatório das Metrópoles (2012). In the case of the metropolis of Rio de Janeiro, such spatiality corresponded to the official Metropolitan Region of Rio de Janeiro at the reference date of the study. The municipality of Mangaratiba was added to the analysis, to compare to previous studies. For this reason, the term metropolis corresponds to the metropolitan area of this text.
- 2.
The territorial cross section that was the basis for the development of this typology was the districts of the Metropolitan Region of Rio de Janeiro.
- 3.
By using the types of population flows in the metropolis according to socio-spatial typology, the methodology used follows the one presented by Silva (2013): (a) for the migration, the most disaggregated source that is observed is the municipality (or group of municipalities) and the destination will be the socio-spatial type of area in which the migrant was residing; (b) for the two-way commuting, which will be treated at the end, the analysis is reversed: the source is the socio-spatial type of area of residence and the destination will be the municipality (since we do not know the specific area in which the person will work in another city or even for those who work in the municipality where they reside). The goal is to verify which flows predominate in each type of area.
- 4.
In this section, all three types of popular areas were grouped.
- 5.
“More superior categories” refer to occupations such as executives, high-level professionals, small employers, and middle-level occupations.
