Migration

 

Percent distribution of women and men by residence at birth

 

Definition

 

Percent distribution of women and men age 15-49 by residence at birth

 

Coverage:

Population base: Women and men age 15-49 (IR file, MR file)

Time period: Lifetime of the respondent and the last five years preceding the survey

 

Numerators:

1)      Number of women (or men) age 15-49 who were born in their current place of residence (women: v104 = 95 and v172 ≠ 96; men: mv104 = 95 and mv172 ≠ 96)

2)      Number of women (or men) age 15-49 who were born in the country but outside of their current place of residence (women: v104 ≠ 95:99 and v172 ≠ 96; men: mv104 ≠ 95:99 and mv172 ≠ 96)

3)      Number of women (or men) age 15-49 who were born outside the country (women: v172 = 96; men: mv172 = 96)

 

Denominator: Women (or men) age 15-49 who are not visitors (women: v104 ≠ 96; men: mv104 ≠ 96)

 

Variables: IR file, MR file.

v135

Usual resident or visitor (women)

v172

Province/State of birth (women)

v104

Years lived in current place of residence (women)

v005

Women's sample weight

mv135

Usual resident or visitor (men)

mv172

Province/State of birth (men)

mv104

Years lived in current place of residence (men)

mv005

Men's sample weight

 

Calculation

 

Numerator divided by the denominator, multiplied by 100.

 

Handling of Missing Values

 

Respondents with missing data on residence at birth are excluded from the numerator.

 

Notes and Considerations

 

Respondents who are visitors in the household are excluded.

 

Changes over Time

 

Prior to DHS-8, migration questions were not standardly included in all surveys although many surveys did ask questions on migration.

Percent distribution of women and men who have moved to their current place of residence in the last 5 years by type of migration

 

Definition

 

Percent distribution of women and men age 15-49 who have moved to their current place of residence in the last 5 years by type of migration

 

Coverage:

Population base: Women and men age 15-49 (IR file, MR file)

Time period: Lifetime of the respondent and the last five years preceding the survey

 

Numerator:

1)      Number of women (or men) age 15-49 who moved to their current place of residence in the last five years (women: v104 in 0:4; men: mv104 in 0:4)

2)      Number of women (or men) age 15-49 who moved to their current place of residence in the last five years (women: v104 in 0:4; men: mv104 in 0:4) by type of migration:

a)       Urban to urban (women: v102 = 1 and v105 in 0:2; men: mv102 = 1 and mv105 in 0:2)

b)      Urban to rural (women: v102 = 1 and v105 = 3; men: mv102 = 1 and mv105 = 3)

c)       Rural to urban (women: v102 = 2 and v105 in 0:2; men: mv102 = 2 and mv105 in 0:2)

d)      Rural to rural (women: v102 = 2 and v105 = 3; men: mv102 = 2 and mv105 = 3)

 

Denominator: Women (or men) age 15-49 who were born outside of their current place of residence (women: v104 ≠ 95:99; men: mv104 ≠ 95:99)

 

Variables: IR file, MR file.

v102

Type of place of residence (women)

v104

Years lived in current place of residence (women)

v105

Type of place of previous residence (women)

v005

Women's sample weight

mv102

Type of place of residence (men)

mv104

Years lived in current place of residence (men)

mv105

Type of place of previous residence (men)

mv005

Men's sample weight

 

Calculation

 

Numerator divided by the denominator, multiplied by 100.

 

Handling of Missing Values

 

Respondents with missing data on residence at birth or previous residence excluded from the numerator.

 

Notes and Considerations

 

Respondents who are visitors are excluded. The previous place of residence is the place the respondent moved from just before moving to the current place of residence.

 

Changes over Time

 

Prior to DHS-8, migration questions were not standardly included in all surveys although many surveys did ask questions on migration.
