Abstract
The article shows the results of a research of migration to Brazil, the patterns of placement of migrants and their role in the country's economy. Brazil is a former Portuguese colony, a country with a diverse ethnic composition, formed during migrations in different historical periods from Europe, Africa and Asia. In the course of the study, it was revealed that in 2020 the number of international migrants amounted to 1% of the world indicator of their number, as a result of which Brazil's cash inflow was 2.25 times. The authors emphasize that the result of migration of different historical periods was the formation of areas of compact residence of immigrants from various countries and regions, with a special specialization of the economy (German migrants to Blumenau, Italian to Bento-Gonzalvis, Japanese in São Paulo, Parana and Rio Grande do Sul, immigrants from Africa - in the state of Bahia).
