Interviewer instructions
This question gives an indication of the level of external migration, which the country experienced during the last ten years preceding the Census. Note that the words “to live abroad” are underlined to denote PERMANENT MIGRATION. A student gone abroad to study for a specific period, or a person seeking medical attention or on vacation (even an extended vacation) is not considered a migrant.
It is accepted that some persons may go abroad for a short period and decide to remain permanently - whether this was originally intended or not. This question is to be answered 1 – Yes
only if it is known that the person or persons intend(s) to remain abroad permanently.
If no one from the household has migrated in the ten year period, shade in 2 – No and SKIP to Section 2. If any person has gone to live abroad, ask the Migration questions. Note that the age required in Column (7) is the age at the time he/she left the country.
