This article is based on the explanation of population trends characterized in the theory of demographic transition that establishes a pattern of changes in birth and mortality that inevitably leads in all societies to a time window with the minimal burden of demographic dependence. From the analysis of the census data at the provincial level in Argentina during the period of 1914-2040, situations are visible in which the burden of demographic dependence is characterized by marked interprovincial divergences. There are provinces that begin the period under study with a low burden of demographic dependence, and remain in these positions over time, while in others the initial relative advantages fade, while the other provinces continually cope with the effects of this imbalance. demographic. The hypothesis is that the absence of the migratory component is the main limitation to explain these supposed irregularities by demographic theory. The relationship between the values of the provincial demographic dependency relationship and the migratory flows according to census years is presented. Keywords: demographic burden; structure migrations by age; Theory of demographic transition.
