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.
5.60 Questions 2.5: Year of entry into the parish
This question is to be asked only to persons born in Jamaica (see Q2.3). Write in the four digits of the year in the boxes provided. If the respondent was not born in the parish of enumeration, record the year when he/she came to live in the parish. For persons who have moved in and out of the parish, [record] the most recent year. If the individual was born in the parish, at the time of the census is resident in the same parish, and has never resided in another parish, then the year of entry will be the same as the year of birth. If only the age is given you must calculate the year of birth. You have to remember to ask these additional questions, which do not appear on the questionnaire. If, for example, the respondent was born in St. Ann and you are enumerating in St. Ann, you should ask "Have you ever lived outside of St. Ann for six months or more?" If "No", score the year of birth. If "Yes", say "In what year did you return to St. Ann?" and score appropriately.
If the individual had previously resided in this parish and then lived outside of it for 6 months or more, record the year in which he/she last returned to reside in this parish.
If the individual has resided abroad but has not lived in any other parish in Jamaica, then he is not to be regarded as having lived outside of his parish of birth. In this case also, the year of entry will be the same as the year of birth.
