Interviewer instructions
Section 2: Birthplace and residence
[All persons]
These questions are very important for the main reasons that they:
(1) Will establish the "de jure" population on which the final Census tabulations will be based. The "de jure" count identifies persons at their usual place of residence.
(2) Are important for studying movement of the population between parishes in Jamaica. Movements apply only to those taking place between parishes. Residence abroad is not regarded as a move for the purpose of studying internal migration.
5.59 Question 2.4: Year of immigration
This question is to be addressed only to persons born outside of Jamaica. Write in the four digits of the year in the boxes provided. If the person entered Jamaica, left to live abroad, and then returned, it is the last year of entry that is required.
