Interviewer instructions
Columns (6) through (12)
If the answer for column (5) is "Y", then 5 years ago the person lived in this regency / municipality and the questions for column (6) through (12) do not need to be asked; go directly to page 5 (in the original text the page number mentioned here is 4, but that is incorrect).
If answer for column (5) is T, 5 years ago this person lived in a different regency/municipality so ask where he lived 5 years ago beginning with question Al7a and put the answers in columns (6) through (12).




Column (12) Reason for migration
Concept and definitions
Reasons for moving to the current place of residence are categorized below:

1. Looking for work: a person who changes his residence because he was looking for work.

[p.18]

2. Job relocation: a person moves because his job/activity was relocated to this place.

3. Other job-related reasons for moving other than 1 and 2: for example, a person leaves his job, etc.

4. Attending school: a person's move is made for educational purposes, moves to a new school, continues his education, leaves school, etc.

5. Marriage: for example, joins husband/wife because of he/she has married.

6. Relatives/family moved and he/she had to move with them: a child moves with his parents, a wife/husband moves with his spouse, a child moves with his grandparents, etc.

7. Returned to his family's home: moves because he returns home, for example, after returning from abroad, retired, elderly, etc.

8. Other: other reasons that do not include any of the above reasons such as security reasons, economic reasons, etc.


The way to ask the question is as follows:
"What was your reason for moving to this place?", "Was it because (mention a few reasons such as those given above)?"

Write the code in the column in accordance with the respondent's answer.
This column can only contain one code so only accept the main reason for moving.
