abstract: Since the 1990s, the United States has been increasingly hosting large numbers of foreign students in its higher education sector and continues to accommodate these skilled college graduates in its job market. When international students graduate, they can transition from an international student to a skilled migrant. Yet their decision-making process to stay in the receiving country (the United States), to return to sending countries, or to move on to another country, at different stages of such transition period, is not presently understood. This dissertation examines the experiences of these “migrants in transition period” when they face the “to return or to stay” choices under structural and institutional forces from the sending and receiving countries. This research adopts the conceptual framework of human capital, social capital, and cultural capital, to investigate how social capital and cultural capital impact the economic outcomes of migrants’ human capital under different societal contexts, and how migrants in the transition period cope with such situations and develop their stay or return plans accordingly. It further analyzes their decision-making process for return during this transition period. The empirical study of this dissertation investigates contemporary Chinese student migrants and skilled migrants from People’s Republic of China to the United States, as well as Chinese returnees who returned to China after graduation with a US educational degree. Findings reveal the impact of social and cultural capitals in shaping career experiences of skilled Chinese migrants, and also explore their mobility and the decision-makings of such movement of talent. / Dissertation/Thesis / Doctoral Dissertation Geography 2016

Étant traditionnellement des terres d'accueil, les États-Unis, l'Australie et l'Union européenne tendent progressivement à fermer leurs frontières et à adopter des politiques similaires en matière de lutte contre l'immigration irrégulière. Ces trois pôles majeurs d'immigration essaient de trouver des solutions pour imperméabiliser leurs frontières et ainsi éviter que des flux migratoires non souhaités n'atteignent leurs territoires. Dans cette optique, l'externalisation des contrôles migratoires apparaît être une méthode complémentaire opportune de lutte contre l'immigration irrégulière. Les contrôles migratoires ne s'effectueront plus aux frontières des États d'accueil des migrants mais ils se feront en amont : sur le territoire d'un État tiers ou dans une zone de quasi-vide juridique comme en haute mer. Les États d'émigration et d'immigration devront coopérer et utiliser les instruments du droit international afin de concrétiser cet objectif. La complexité du phénomène migratoire et la faible préemption du droit international sur cette question rendra cette problématique particulièrement délicate. La compatibilité des actions menées par les États-Unis, l'Australie et l'Union européenne sera évaluée au regard des conventions, de la coutume et de la jurisprudence internationale pertinente, les vides juridiques seront dévoilés et des améliorations seront proposées. / Traditionnally regarded as lands of immigration, the United States, Australia and the European Union have gradually closed their borders and are adopting similar policies in the fight against irregular immigration. These three major centers of immigration are trying to find solutions to secure their borders in order to prevent the entry of irregular migrants. In this context, the externalization of migration controls appears to be a relevant complementary method to fight against irregular immigration. The migration controls will no longer take place at national borders but they will be relocated to the territory of a third country or to an area of legal vacuum as the high seas. The countries of emigration and immigration shall cooperate and use the instruments of international law in order to carry out this goal. The complexity of the migration phenomenon and the lack of influence of international law on this field will make this issue particularly tricky. The compatibility of the actions led by the United States, Australia and the European Union will be assessed regarding conventions, customary law and jurisprudence, legal black holes will be revealed and some improvements will be suggested.

This diploma work tries to describe the situation of working migrants from Ukraine and Vietnam. The theoretically part includes topics from the description of the elevation of working migrants on contemporary Czech labour market to social and cultural background of workers from Ukraine and Vietnam. The second practical part is based on four detailed interviews with a working migrant from Ukraine, a working migrant form Vietnam, a Czech co-worker of working migrant and an employer of working migrants. The sight of view of these four interviews is that working migrants have the same conditions as Czech employees, they came to Czech Republic to make money to rise the life standard of their families living abroad. There is enough work in their countries but they aren´t paid so well as in Czech Republic there. The working grades they execute are not interesting for Czech workers so these positions hadn´t been casted before they came to our country. They know that people have many prejudices to them there but they don´t admit them and try to pass judgment on Czechs individually. At the beginning each of them had an experience with some negotiator or {\clqq}client`` who had vindicated them their jobs and accommodations. They see the biggest problem in communication in our language but they are willing to learn speaking Czech. They don´t follow the progression of Czech justice and legislation and they rely on their employers in this case. They think that the biggest difference between their countries and Czech Republic is folks´attitude towards family and religion. They are willing to cooperate on changing the unfriendly attitude of our people towards them.

Chichinmanum weamu, traducido como yendo a contracorriente, describe una experiencia por la cual atraviesan muchos jóvenes indígenas universitarios al enfrentar situaciones que afectan su bienestar. Esta investigación analiza si las condiciones en las que estudiaban seis jóvenes awajún en la Universidad Nacional de la Amazonia Peruana garantizaban ese bienestar. Con este propósito, utilizamos una metodología cualitativa y diferentes técnicas etnográficas como entrevistas, grupos focales, observaciones e historias de vida. Argumentamos que estar bien significaba para los estudiantes awajún contar con todos los servicios básicos, bienes y recursos que incluyen relaciones cercanas con sus compañeros y docentes. Al observar dichos aspectos, concluimos que los estudiantes awajún no estaban satisfechos. Sin embargo, el capital social desarrollado a través de la Organización de Estudiantes de los Pueblos Indígenas de la Amazonia Peruana les garantizaba su sobrevivencia en Iquitos. / This article analyzes if life conditions in the National University of the Peruvian Amazon assured six young Awajun their well-being. It ponders several questions; what is the emic meaning of being well?, Could young migrants satisfy their socio-economic and affective needs?, which are the strategies used to perform as students? To answer these questions, a qualitative methodology and different ethnographic techniques such as interviews, focus groups, observations and life stories were used. And different actors such as student colleagues, teachers, university authorities, were observed and interviewed. The expression chichinmanum weamu, translated from Awajún as going against the current, describes a situation that many young natives who try to become graduates go through. Young Awajun thought that being good meant having all the basic services, goods and resources needed to develop as students, which also implied having fluid relationships with peers and teachers. The study reached the conclusion that young Awajun were not entirely satisfied. However, the social capital developed through the Student Organization of the Indigenous Peoples of the Peruvian Amazon did ensure their survival in Iquitos.

After Sweden, among other European countries, received a record number of asylum seekers in 2015 and 2016, the public discussion on integration of newcomers to the Swedish society intensified. One of the important means of such integration, as well as one of the fundamental human rights, is access to relevant information – knowledge refugees need to settle at a new place. This study looks into the information practices of one of the largest group of newcomers to Europe – the Afghans – based on the case of Kronoberg County in the Southern Sweden.   Grounded on Reijo Savolainen’s (2008) theory of everyday information practices, this study applies the combination of McKenzie’s (2003), Mwarigha’s (2002), and Berlo’s (1960) analytical models to explore the informational behavior of asylum seekers and check if it is accommodated in the communication strategies of different agencies involved in the integration process. To reach these objectives, a set of interviews was conducted with both Afghan newcomers and representatives of different governmental and non-governmental organizations.   The results of the conducted research and analysis may be summed up to one major topic. While Swedish reception and integration system is effective in reaching out to the newcomers and providing them with task-related information, the structure of the system impedes the provision of general orienting information and guidance, which is in great demand among the asylum seekers. Therefore, development of a parallel system of information can be noticed, with personal relations and authority of the local opinion leaders in the core of it. It is concluded that such division should not be seen as a threat to the integration of newcomers, rather as a supportive mechanism on its intermediate stage. Still, it is important to promote policies that foster active personal contacts between Swedes and newcomers – for example, mentorship programmes.

nÃo hà / The research is a case study of a quantitative nature and aimed to evaluate the formal thought of the students of the Military College of Fortaleza (CMF) in the light of the theory of genetic epistemology of Jean Piaget. The population totals 800 students enrolled in grades (years) in primary education II (6th to 9th grade ) and high school (1st to 3rd year). Data were obtained with the application of a test of verbal intelligence test (reasoning) and the collections on age, sex , year ( range ) and the origin of the students information gazetted or non- gazetted and migrant or non- migrant, noted in the tab. The result achieved by each student in the reasoning test was associated with student performance on assessments of English language, mathematics and overall average (mean final of students in all courses taken in the year 2012) The result of the data analysis performed in software application SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) for Windows version 20.0 pointed to statically significant difference between gazetted and non- gazetted students. The initial hypothesis that migrant students could have difficulty learning because of the changing process was not confirmed by analysis of the search results. It found a similarity between the performance of students in the reasoning test and performance in internal assessments practiced by students of CMF. As regards the results by age, there was a confluence with Piaget's theory because the results showed performance improvement as age advances. The finding points to the importance of faculty and teaching staff perform their methodological and pedagogical - didactic actions with emphasis on the development of reasoning that proved they were not well developed and that students should pay attention to non- gazetted whose performance showed differences statically significant in relation to the gazetted students. / A pesquisa à um estudo de caso de natureza quantitativa e teve por finalidade avaliar o pensamento formal dos alunos do ColÃgio Militar de Fortaleza (CMF), à luz da teoria da epistemologia genÃtica de Jean Piaget. A populaÃÃo perfaz um total de 800 estudantes regularmente matriculados nas sÃries (anos) do ensino fundamental II (6 ao 9 ano) e no ensino mÃdio (1 ao 3 ano). Os dados foram obtidos com a aplicaÃÃo de um teste de inteligÃncia verbal (teste de raciocÃnio) e com as informaÃÃes coletas sobre idade, sexo, ano (sÃrie) e a origem dos estudantes: concursado ou nÃo-concursado e migrante ou nÃo-migrante, anotados em ficha de registro. O resultado alcanÃado por cada discente no teste de raciocÃnio foi relacionado com o desempenho dos alunos nas avaliaÃÃes de lÃngua portuguesa, matemÃtica e mÃdia global (mÃdia final dos alunos em todas as disciplinas cursadas no ano de 2012). O resultado da anÃlise dos dados realizada no software aplicativo SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) para Windows versÃo 20.0 apontou para diferenÃa estaticamente significativa entre alunos concursados e nÃo-concursados. A hipÃtese inicial de que os alunos migrantes poderiam apresentar dificuldades de aprendizagem em razÃo do processo de constantes mudanÃas nÃo se confirmou pela anÃlise dos resultados da pesquisa. Constatou-se uma semelhanÃa entre o desempenho dos alunos no teste de raciocÃnio e o desempenho nas avaliaÃÃes internas praticadas pelos estudantes do CMF. No que se refere aos resultados por idade ocorreu uma confluÃncia com a teoria piagetiana porque os resultados apresentaram melhora de desempenho à medida que a idade avanÃava. A conclusÃo aponta para a importÃncia do corpo docente e da equipe pedagÃgica realizarem suas aÃÃes didÃtico-pedagÃgica-metodolÃgica com Ãnfase no desenvolvimento dos raciocÃnios que se mostraram nÃo estarem bem desenvolvidos e que se deve dedicar atenÃÃo aos alunos nÃo-concursados cujo desempenho apresentou diferenÃas estaticamente significativas em relaÃÃo aos alunos concursados.

O nível de emprego direto gerado pelas atividades agrícolas depende em grande medida da área cultivada, da composição das culturas e do desempenho da safra agrícola, sobretudo no curto prazo. O estágio tecnológico em que se encontram as culturas também é outra variável que afeta a ocupação agrícola. No caso específico de São Paulo, dado o esgotamento precoce de sua fronteira agrícola, a evolução da ocupação agrícola tem sido influenciada principalmente pelas mudanças da base técnica dos processos produtivos adotados pelos estabelecimentos agrícolas. Entre o início da década de 70 e meados da década atual, a agricultura paulista eliminou quase 700 mil postos de trabalho, o que representou uma redução de quase 40% da ocupação agrícola neste período. Observa-se também uma tendência de declínio da mão-de-obra residente nas propriedades, na medida em que quase 60% dos ocupados na agricultura paulista já residem fora das propriedades rurais em que exercem seu trabalho. Os assalariados temporários, que nos anos 80 tinham uma participação de 22% do total da população ocupada, passam a representar 19% em 2004. Concomitantemente, o novo ciclo de inovação tecnológica em curso na agricultura paulista a partir dos anos 90, apoiada, sobretudo na intensificação da mecanização em todas as fases do processo produtivo, tende a levar a uma preferência crescente por trabalhadores assalariados permanentes. Analisa-se também o comportamento da ocupação agrícola para as diferentes regiões do estado de São Paulo. Os dados sobre a ocupação agrícola para os anos 90 apontam que, apesar de todas as regiões apresentarem uma redução do emprego nesse período, os efeitos combinados de fatores como o grau de tecnificação das culturas, as mudanças dos indicadores desse nível de modernização e alterações nas áreas ou na composição das culturas, incidiram de forma diferenciada sobre as várias regiões do estado / Abstract: The main purpose of this study is to analyze the changes in production methods that have taken place in agriculture in São Paulo State and their impact both on jobs and the socio-economic conditions of the workers in this sector. The rate of direct employment generated by agricultural activities largely depends on the cultivated area, the crops grown and the abundance of the harvest, especially in the short term. The technological level of the agricultural activities is another factor that affects the numbers employed on the land. In the specific case of São Paulo, given the early exhaustion of the rural frontier, the evolving pattern of agricultural work has been influenced mainly by the changing technical basis of the production methods adopted by agricultural units. From the beginning of the 1970s until the middle of the present decade, agriculture in São Paulo lost nearly 700,000 jobs, representing a nearly 40% reduction in rural employment in the period. There is also a tendency for the resident work force to decline, since nearly 60% of those working on the land in São Paulo already live away from the rural properties where they do their work. The seasonal workers, who represented 22% of the total working population during the 1980s, fell to 19% in 2004. At the same time, the new cycle of technological innovation in progress in the agricultural sector in São Paulo since the 1990s, above all in the intensification of mechanization at all stages of the productive process, tends to favor a growing preference for permanent salaried workers. The profile of agricultural work in the different regions of São Paulo State is also analyzed. The numbers occupied on the land during the 1990s indicate that, while all regions suffered a reduction in the level of employment in that period, the combined effects of factors such as the degree of mechanization of cultivation, changes in the indicators of that level of modernization and alterations in the area under cultivation or type of crops had affected of differentiated form the various regions of the state / Tese (dooutorado) - Universida / Política Social / Doutor em Ciências Econômicas

Scotson in The Established and the Outsiders (2000) the relationships that exist between prejudice and identity, and the differentiation between Northeastern migrants and the population of City of Inhumas-GO. At first, I seek to investigate how the city of Inhumas has the migration / immigration intrinsically linked to its construction and consolidation. In the next chapter, supported by the historical construction of the city, we try to understand, through ethnography and oral history narrated by older residents, how these residents identify themselves, as well as the way in which they construct their memory. Finally, I intend to establish a discussion related to the identity and difference between both groups, through interviews conducted with migrants from various regions of the Northeast and residents of Inhumas. It is noteworthy that there is a certain search for differentiation between the so-called goianos or belonging to a possible goiano‟s identity, of the Northeastern migrants, while the local inhabitants are seen as established, the outsiders‟ notions are delegated to the migrants, which makes them to be adjectived with pejorative and prejudiced notions. / Este trabalho busca averiguar por meio do viés antropológico e da Sociologia das relações de poder de Norbert Elias e John L. Scotson em Os estabelecidos e os outsiders (2000) as relações que há entre preconceito e identidade, e a diferenciação entre migrantes nordestinos e a população da cidade de Inhumas-GO. Em primeiro momento busco investigar como a cidade de Inhumas tem a migração/imigração intrinsecamente ligada a sua construção e consolidação. No próximo capítulo, respaldado pela construção histórica da cidade, procurase entender, através da etnografia e da história oral narrada por moradores mais velhos, como estes moradores se identificam, além da forma pela qual constroem sua memória. Por último, pretendo estabelecer uma discussão ligada à identidade e diferença entre ambos os grupos, através de entrevistas conduzidas com migrantes advindos de diversas regiões do Nordeste e moradores de Inhumas. Nota-se que existe certa busca de diferenciação entre os ditos goianos ou pertencentes a uma possível identidade goiana, dos migrantes nordestinos, ao passo que os Inhumenses se veem como estabelecidos, delega-se aos migrantes a noção de outsiders, o que os faz serem adjetivados com noções pejorativas e preconceituosas.

Censuses were conducted seasonally (considering arrival of migrants in South America, wintering, departure and breeding in North America) from September/2007 to July/2008, in two sectors of Island, North and South. We used the methods of point count, transect and estimate. The North Sector showed greater richness, the South, most abundance. The North Sector did not show differences in number of individuals or significantly different (Kruskal-Wallis, H = 1.0163, df = 3, P = 0.7973) between the periods. The Southern Sector showed greater abundance in the arrival (35,046) winter (35,708), decline in departure (20,046) and increasing of abundance in reproductive period (92), showed no significantly different (Kruskal-Wallis , H = 4.1596, df = 3, P = 0.2447). Considering the total number of shorebirds, the following pattern was observed: high abundance during the period of arrival (46,698), and winter (41,263), followed by declines in the individuals numbers in departure (24,169) and reproductive (6071), not significantly different (Kruskal-Wallis, H = 28,892, df = 3, P = 0.4090). There was no significantly different considering the abundance of time of arrival (Mann-Whitney U = 44.00; Z = 0.7107, P = 0.4773), winter (Mann-Whitney U = 48.50; Z = 0.3909 P = 0.6959), departure (Mann-Whitney U = 38.00; Z = 11,371, P = 0.2555) and reproductive (Mann-Whitney U = 45.00; Z = 0.6396, P = 0 , 5224) between North and South. Temporal distribution showed a high abundance in the months September to November (autumn migration) and from December to February (winter) reducing the number of individuals in the months of March to May and low values were recorded from June to August, when the birds are breeding in Arctic. Calidris pusilla was the most abundant species in all periods. Spatial distribution was related to the change of tide. Island of Caranguejos is a important wintering site for migratory shorebirds, its conservation is important for maintenance of birds group in wild life. / Objetivou-se descrever a distribuição espacial e temporal de aves limícolas (Charadriiformes) na Ilha dos Caranguejos, Golfão maranhense. Os censos foram realizados sazonalmente (considerando a chegada dos migrantes na América do Sul, invernada, partida e reprodução na América do Norte) de setembro/2007 a julho/2008 em dois setores da Ilha, denominados Norte e Sul. Utilizou-se os métodos de ponto fixo, transecto e estimativa. O Setor Norte apresentou maior riqueza, o Sul, maior abundância. O Setor Norte não mostrou diferenças nítidas no número de indivíduos nem diferença significativa (Kruskal-Wallis, H= 1,0163; gl= 3; P= 0,7973) entre os períodos. O Setor Sul apresentou maior abundância no período de chegada (35.046) e invernada (35.708), com declínio no período de partida (20.046) e elevando o número de indivíduos no período reprodutivo (92), não mostrando diferença significativa (Kruskal- Wallis, H= 4,1596; gl= 3; P= 0,2447). Considerando o número total de aves limícolas, se deu o seguinte padrão: alta abundância no período de chegada (46.698) e invernada (41263), seguida por declínios nos números de indivíduos nos períodos de partida (24.169) e reprodutivo (6.071), não houve diferença significativa (Kruskal-Wallis, H= 28,892; gl= 3; P= 0.4090). Não houve diferença significativa da abundância considerando os períodos de chegada (Mann-Whitney U= 44,00; Z= 0,7107; P= 0,4773), invernada (Mann-Whitney U= 48,50; Z= 0,3909; P= 0,6959), partida (Mann-Whitney U= 38,00; Z= 11,371; P= 0,2555) e reprodutivo (Mann-Whitney U= 45,00; Z= 0,6396; P= 0,5224) entre os setores Norte e Sul. A distribuição temporal mostrou alta abundância nos meses setembro a novembro (migração de outono) e dezembro a fevereiro (invernada) diminuindo o número de indivíduos nos meses de março a maio e baixos valores nos meses de junho a agosto quando as aves estão se reproduzindo no Ártico. Calidris pusilla foi a espécie mais abundante em todos os períodos. A distribuição espacial se deu de acordo com a variação de maré. A Ilha dos Caranguejos se mostrou como um importante sítio de invernada de aves limícolas migratórias, sendo fundamental a conservação dessa área para a manutenção desse grupo de aves na vida silvestre.

A acelerada transição demográfica ocorrida nas quatro últimas décadas trouxe implicações para os arranjos familiares, as relações de trabalho, o emprego e a renda, além do comum fenômeno da migração, sendo que as complexas relações entre essas dimensões acarretam importantes desafios para o cuidado em saúde dos idosos. No contexto da migração no país, os idosos em condições socioeconômicas desfavoráveis têm migrado por contingências, sobretudo, relativas à saúde e moradia e, na maioria desses casos, o apoio necessário obtido em relação à saúde baseia-se, fundamentalmente, na Atenção Primária à Saúde, sob a Estratégia de Saúde da Família. Assim, o objetivo deste trabalho é compreender as necessidades e o cuidado em saúde de idosos residentes no Município de São Paulo e migrantes do Nordeste, bem como os limites e potencialidades dos serviços de Atenção Primária no tocante a essa problemática. Busca-se, ainda, (re)considerar a relação entre usuários idosos e integrantes de equipes de Saúde da Família no Município de São Paulo, ao compreender a forma como as marcas identitárias são caracterizadas e em que medida podem influenciar a relação entre esses sujeitos, no que se refere ao tratamento de saúde. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de referencial qualitativo, que utilizou a técnica de entrevista em profundidade na produção dos dados empíricos, que consistiu em duas etapas: entrevistas realizadas com 06 idosos, com 60 anos ou mais, que se deslocaram para o Município de São Paulo, em um intervalo de 03 meses a 05 anos, com o propósito de tratar seu(s) problema(s) de saúde; e entrevistas com 09 profissionais de equipes da Estratégia de Saúde da Família. Referente à análise dos depoimentos, utilizou-se a técnica de análise temática de conteúdo, considerando as conjunturas, as razões e as lógicas de falas, bem como as ações e inter-relações estabelecidas com o coletivo e as instituições. Os resultados exibem a complexidade dos sentidos atribuídos às necessidades de saúde dessa população em específico, sendo que, de forma convergente, ambos os grupos entrevistados destacaram o entrelaçamento das necessidades de saúde e do adoecimento. Além disso, os constructos socioculturais regionalizados mostram-se imperativos, uma vez que o processo de significação, diante da necessidade em saúde, assume contornos firmados em experiências anteriores de saúde-doença-cuidado. Já a autopercepção de saúde, a definição de problema e as estratégias e recursos para o cuidado em saúde foram proporcionalmente relativos ao contexto (pessoal, social e econômico) no qual esses idosos estavam inseridos antes de residirem na metrópole paulistana. Segundo os profissionais, a carência de recursos, a falta de conscientização e a dificuldade de acesso aos serviços de saúde em suas localidades de origem resultam, muitas vezes, em um agregado de diagnósticos realizados em São Paulo. Por sua vez, para os idosos, a produção de cuidados está muito mais associada às práticas curativas, sendo pouca a valorização de medidas preventivas e promocionais de saúde. Nesse sentido, de acordo com os profissionais, à medida que não apresentam sinais ou sintomas, eles tendem a cessar o tratamento médico e farmacológico. / The accelerated demographic transition happened in the last four decades brought implications for the family arrangements, the work relationships, the job and the income, besides the common phenomenon of the migration, and the complex relationships among those dimensions cart important challenges for the health care of the aged. In the context of the migration in the country, the aged in unfavorable socioeconomic conditions have been migrating for contingencies relative to, above all, the health and home and, in most of those cases, the necessary support obtained in relation to the health is based, fundamentally, in the Primary Health Care, through the Family Health Strategy. So, the objective of this paper is to understand the needs and health care of aged resident in the Municipal district of São Paulo and transients and migrants of the Northeast, as well as the limits and potentialities of the services of Primary Health Care concerning that problem. Also, it is looked for (re)considering the relationship between the aged users and the teams members of Family Health in the Municipal district of São Paulo, when understanding the form as the identity marks are characterized and in that measured they can influence the relationship among those subjects, in what it refers to the health treatment. This is a qualitative research, that used the in-depth interview technique for the production of the empiric data, that consisted of two stages: interviews with 06 aged, with 60 years old or more, who moved for the Municipal district of São Paulo in an interval of 03 months to 05 years, with the purpose of treating their health problems; and interviews with 09 professionals of teams of the Family Health Strategy. Regarding the analysis of the depositions, the thematic analysis of content technique was used, considering the conjunctures, the reasons and the logics of speeches, as well as the actions and established interrelations with the collective and the institutions. The results exhibit the complexity of the senses attributed to the health needs of that population in specific, and, in a convergent way, both groups detached the interlacement of the health needs and the sickness. Besides, the regional sociocultural thoughts are shown imperatives, once the significance process, before the health need, assumes outlines in previous experiences of health-disease-care. The self-perception of health, the problem definition and the strategies and resources for health care were proportionally relative to the context (personal, social and economical) in which those aged ones were inserted before they live in the metropolis of São Paulo. According to the professionals, the lack of resources, the understanding lack and the access difficulty to the health services in their origin places result, a lot of times, in an attaché of diagnoses accomplished in São Paulo. For the aged, the production of cares is much more associated to the healing practices and it is little the valorization of preventive and promotion measures of health. In that sense, in agreement with the professionals, as they dont present signs or symptoms, they tend to interrupt the medical and pharmacological treatment.
