Sumario:The objective of this research was to analyze the convergence of growth and socioeconomic development of Brazilian metropolitan regions in the period 2005 and 2016. To do so, the methodology of coefficients of variation was employed in order to identify the convergence of income and socioeconomic development among the municipalities of the MRs. The comparison between the RMs followed two parameters: the convergence of economic growth or income; and the convergence of socioeconomic development. To analyze the convergence of economic growth, the following variables were used: per capita GDP in general and per economic sector (primary, secondary and tertiary), estimated from the Gross Added Value, while for socioeconomic development the Firjan Municipal Development Index (IFDM) was used as a parameter in its three dimensions: employment and income, health and education. The results pointed to the growth of the GDP per capita in all the Brazilian MRs, with a higher concentration in the Center-West and South Regions. The socioeconomic development profile also showed growth in all regions, with greater concentration in the Health and Education dimensions, but with greater disparity in the Employment and Income dimension.
