People moved to favelas mainly because of the money charges they could avoid. They could avoid heavy taxes as they had not much land to themselves. It was a also a means of safety, as most people did not go to the favelas as they thought it would be disgraceful to lower themselves to the standards of the poor peasants. So there were many reasons why people moved to favelas. check wikipedia for more info, it's really good!

People may move to favelas due to economic reasons, seeking job opportunities in urban areas where favelas are often located. Additionally, some individuals may move to favelas to be closer to family or social networks. Limited affordable housing options in formal housing sectors may also drive people to settle in favelas as a temporary or permanent solution.

People leave favelas due to push and pull factors. Factors that push people away from favelas and factors that pull people to other places...

An example of a pull factor: there is opportunity for work in the city, which would provide higher income and better living conditions.

Example of push factors: Poor living conditions (lack of sanitation), lack of opportunities for employment and education, maybe gang related violence.
