The increase of only 0.37% in Brazil's population confirms the country's demographic slowdown, which is expected to start shrinking from 2042 onward, according to IBGE projections. Amid this scenario of stagnation, three states stand out with significant population growth.
Roraima stands out due to the Venezuelan migratory flow, which has significantly boosted its population. Santa Catarina attracts new residents through economic dynamism, the expanding real estate market, and the perception of quality of life in the region. Mato Grosso grows driven by agribusiness expansion, which generates job opportunities and attracts populations from other parts of the country.
The three states present growth patterns that go against the national trend of demographic slowdown, showing that specific economic and social factors can still attract and retain populations in certain regions of Brazil.
