Brazil has long seen itself as a destination for immigrants throughout the twentieth century. Migration out of Brazil is a relatively new phenomenon. Over the last few decades, the search for better economic opportunities has led more and more Brazilians to leave their homeland. It is estimated that since 1987, when approximately 300,000 Brazilians lived abroad, emigration has increased by a rate of about 20% per year. Already by 1995, as many as 2.5 million Brazilians lived abroad.
