5.37 Questions 5.1-5.2: Persons leaving to live abroad
These questions seek to obtain information that will allow for an accurate estimation of migration out of Jamaica during the year 2000, and the number of deaths occurring in the twelve months preceding the census (between September 10, 2000 and September 9, 2001).
If the answer to Q5.1 is "Yes", at Q5.2 write in the number of persons leaving the household to live permanently abroad during the year 2000. Then score the sex and write in the age of each individual. For babies younger than one year old, record "00", and for persons 98 years and over score "98". The age to be recorded is the age at the time of migration. Score "99" in all instances where the number of persons and age are not given.
Please note that the emphasis is on permanent residence. Persons going on vacation are not to be included if they returned. If however they went on vacation but have not returned after six (6) months, they are to be included.
If the number of persons exceeds four (4), indicate [this] in the visitation record
