Interviewer instructions
<span class="em">Migration [columns 16-19]</span></p>

<p><span class="em">Column 17: how long [the respondent] have been living here?</span>
<br />(Only for those whose birthplace were in another district or country)</p>

<p>This question is asked to persons whose birthplace is different from where they are living currently, i.e. it was in another district or country. This means the person was not born in this country but migrated from elsewhere. Ask such person how many years since he or she migrated here and write clearly in number. E.g. If he or she has been living here for 3 years and seven months, the completed years is 3 years and write it as 3. If they have not even completed one year, write "00". Living means that the person has been usually in the place.
