I love HoI and EUuniversals but every time I tried Victoria I found it too complex to understand. Well I'm trying again playing a game as Brasil. All is going fine, it is late 50s I got my hands on some machine parts and want to set up a furniture industry. The problem is I cant get my POP to migrate to the factory province. I build a Lumber mil in Rio and converted a couple of POP into craftsman in other provinces but they don't migrate. I checked and their income level don't drop from about 100 although i have no unemployment benefits and they are out of work. So what is the problem and what should I do?

First of all, build factories only in populous states. 
Second, get Laissez-faire, and convert a ~5-10K POP in such a state into Capitalists, they will build factories more often than you can.
And to answer your question - raise your taxes and tariffs until clerks and craftsmen get only 100% life needs and nothing else - at this point, they should start to migrate.

Thank you. Tried Racing taxes POP still don't migrate. Unless I rase it to 100%. Clerks would rather demote than migrate. Still need advice.

Maybe you should wait, but in Latin American countries I always have that problem. I have to wait until I am much more industrialized or that for an unknow reason, they start to loose that money. And you can try having provinces in Europe or China and converting pops in to craftsmen and you will see that they migrate. The problem I can not understand is why is so difficult for Latin American pops to migrate.

It is because they are short range, and therefore will migrate only short distances if they reach the threshold (which I think is higher than for long-range cultures) where they will consider migrating to another part of their nation, and they never consider migration outside their nation.
The populations of the Americas, Africa, most of Asia (save China) and the South Pacific are all short range. European and Chinese POPs are long-range.
What is needed, IMHO, is a halfway "middle-range" culture that would be more likely to migrate loger distances within a nation to new economic opportunities that arise, but not to other nations. This would be a good way to simulate the population spread in USA, Canada, Argentina and Brazil as well as the migration of South Asian POPs through the British Empire (would add a limit that middle range POPs living in colonies can only migrate to other colonies of an empire, thus preventing the potential of an ahistorical Britain overrun with South Asian POPs in the late-19th and early 20th C.)
