Description

Definition
This variable indicates whether the person is a refugee. Refugee includes both internal (within Kyrgyzstan) and external refugees.

The census instructions indicated that the question was to be asked of persons who moved since 1989, but many of those people did not provide a response. Moreover, many persons who moved prior to 1989 did respond, although it is unknown how representative they are of the pre-1989 refugee population.
