The migration is a process motivated, among others, for socioeconomic reasons, which drive to leave the place of origin in search of better living conditions for the migrant to other regions where the economic and social welfare is superior. From the development of the mining industry of Moa (1982), a strong migratory wave takes place turning it into a receiving municipality. This process was sustained for decades. It draws attention as it was reversed, reaching its maximum negative value in the year 1995. From 2009 until today, maintains significant values​​ that set it as an issuing town. An analysis of the factors that have led to internal migration, the sending and receiving municipalities of its population, and its behavior in the period 1977-2015, is relevant. In this point we had into account historical documents of the locality, publications of the Census of Population and Housing of the years 2002 and 2012, Statistical Yearbook of the National Office of Statistics and Information of Moa (ONEI), 2016 and the results of the questionnaire and interview semistructured applied to both residents and migrants of the territory.

Palabras clave : migration behavior; mining industry; wave migratory.
