Interviewer instructions
The data in this section will provide a measure of migration – both internal migration and external migration – how recent was the migration and the place from which the person moved as well as CENSUS May 2001 Interviewer’s Manual Page 57 his/her normal place of residence (this may not be the same as the place where the person is being interviewed).
It is important to know, and to be able to predict for the future, the extent of movements within the country. This will affect the demand for social services, (housing, schools, hospitals, electricity, water, etc.) as well as their distribution. For example, are many people leaving rural districts to live in towns? How many are leaving the towns to live in the suburbs? Have most of these movements taken place within the last 5, 10 or 20 years.
The number of persons coming from another country to live in this country and the number leaving this country to go to other countries is also important since this will affect both projections and/or estimates of the population.
