An example is the migration of workers from [[Atlantic Canada]] (particularly [[Newfoundland and Labrador]]) to [[Alberta]], driven in part by the [[Collapse of the Atlantic northwest cod fishery|cod collapse]] in the early 1990s and the 1992 moratorium on cod fishing. Fishing had previously been a major driver of the economies of the Atlantic provinces, and this loss of work proved catastrophic for many families. As a result, beginning in the early 1990s and into the late 2000s, thousands of people from the Atlantic provinces were driven out-of-province to find work elsewhere in the country, especially in the Alberta [[oil sands]] during the oil boom of the mid-2000s.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Lionais |first1=Doug |last2=Murray |first2=Christinas |last3=Donatelli |first3=Chloe |title=Dependence on Interprovincial Migrant Labour in Atlantic Canadian Communities: The Role of the Alberta Economy |journal=Societies |date=19 January 2020 |volume=10 |issue=1 |page=11 |doi=10.3390/soc10010011 |doi-access=free}}</ref> This systemic [[Migrant worker|export of labour]]<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Ferguson |first1=Nelson |title=From Coal Pits to Tar Sands: Labour Migration Between an Atlantic Canadian Region and the Athabasca Oil Sands |journal=Just Labour |date=January 1, 2011 |volume=17 & 18 |issue=Special Section |doi=10.25071/1705-1436.35 |url= https://justlabour.journals.yorku.ca/index.php/justlabour/article/view/35 |access-date=4 December 2022|doi-access=free}}</ref> is explored by author [[Kate Beaton]] in her 2022 graphic memoir ''[[Ducks: Two Years in the Oil Sands|Ducks]]'', which details her experience working in the [[Athabasca oil sands]].<ref>{{cite news |last=Smart |first=James |title=''Ducks'' by Kate Beaton review – Powerful big oil memoir |url= https://www.theguardian.com/books/2022/oct/06/ducks-by-kate-beaton-review-powerful-big-oil-memoir |access-date=4 December 2022 |agency=The Guardian |date=6 October 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last=Rogers |first=Shelagh |title=Kate Beaton's affecting ''Ducks'' dives into the lonely life of labour in Alberta's oil sands |url= https://www.cbc.ca/radio/thenextchapter/kate-beaton-s-affecting-ducks-dives-into-the-lonely-life-of-labour-in-alberta-s-oil-sands-1.6669384 |access-date=4 December 2022 |agency=CBC |date=2 December 2022}}</ref> ===Brazil=== {{main|Internal migration in Brazil}} [[Internal migration in Brazil]] occurs mainly for economic reasons and ecological disasters. [[Internal migration]] involves the movement of people within the same territory, which can be between regions, states or municipalities. It does not affect the total number of inhabitants in a country, but it does change the regions involved in this process. In Brazil, economic factors exert the greatest influence on migratory flows, as the capitalist production model creates privileged areas for industries, forcing people to move from one place to another in search of better living conditions and jobs to meet their basic survival needs.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |title=Migração interna no Brasil |url=https://brasilescola.uol.com.br/brasil/migracao-interna-no-brasil.htm |access-date=2024-05-03 |website=Brasil Escola}}</ref> Some examples of internal migration in Brazil occurred in the 1960s, when the [[Drought in Northeastern Brazil|droughts]] devastated the [[Northeast Region, Brazil|Northeast]] of Brazil, leading thousands of people to abandon their homes in the Brazilian hinterland due to the lack of agricultural alternatives and social policies in the region. At the end of the 19th century, northeasterners migrated to the [[North Region, Brazil|North]] of Brazil because of the rubber cycle. In the 1970s, migrants from the Northeast and the [[South Region, Brazil|South]] left in search of a better life in the [[Southeast Region, Brazil|Southeast]], Brazil's only industrial center at the time.<ref name=":0" /><ref>{{Cite web |title=Secas do Nordeste |url=https://brasilescola.uol.com.br/historiab/secas-nordeste.htm |access-date=2024-05-03 |website=Brasil Escola}}</ref> ===Italy=== {{main|Internal migration in Italy}} [[Image:Castello Enna2.jpg|thumb|[[Castello di Lombardia]], [[Enna]], [[Sicily]]]] [[File:Centrale termica falck.jpg|thumb|View of the [[Falck Group|Falck steelworks]] in [[Sesto San Giovanni]], in [[Lombardy]], [[Italy]]]] The oldest [[internal migration in Italy]] goes back to the 11th century when soldiers and settlers from [[Northern Italy]] (at the time collectively called "Lombardy"<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.treccani.it/vocabolario/lombardo/|title=Lombardo|accessdate=15 April 2022|work=treccani.it|language=it}}</ref>), settled the central and eastern part of [[Sicily]] during the [[Norman conquest of southern Italy]]. After the marriage between the Norman king [[Roger I of Sicily]] with [[Adelaide del Vasto]], member of [[Aleramici]] family, many Lombard colonisers left their homeland, in the Aleramici's possessions in [[Piedmont]] and [[Liguria]], to settle on the island of Sicily.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=1IBspuVRwnUC&pg=PA323|title=The Society of Norman Italy|author1=Graham A.

Following these ancient migrations, in some municipalities of Sicily and Basilicata, dialects of northern origin are still spoken today, the [[Gallo-Italic of Sicily]] and the [[Gallo-Italic of Basilicata]]. With the [[Fall of the Fascist regime in Italy|fall of Fascist regime]] in 1943, and the end of World War II in 1945, a large internal migratory flow began from one Italian region to another. This internal emigration was sustained and constantly increased by the [[Italian economic miracle|economic growth that Italy experienced]] between the 1950s and 1960s.<ref name="uniud">{{cite web|url=https://www.uniud.it/it/ateneo-uniud/ateneo-uniud-organizzazione/dipartimenti/dies/ricerca/allegati_wp/wp_2013/wp04_2013.pdf|title=Una indagine CATI per lo studio della mobilità interna in Italia in un'ottica longitudinale|access-date=8 February 2018|language=it|archive-date=20 April 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210420020548/https://www.uniud.it/it/ateneo-uniud/ateneo-uniud-organizzazione/dipartimenti/dies/ricerca/allegati_wp/wp_2013/wp04_2013.pdf|url-status=dead}}</ref> Given that this economic growth mostly concerned [[Northwest Italy]], which was involved in the birth of many industrial activities, migratory phenomena affected the peasants of the [[Triveneto]] and [[southern Italy]], who began to move in large numbers.<ref name="uniud" /> Other areas of northern Italy were also affected by emigration such as the rural areas of [[Mantua]] and [[Cremona]].
