Abstract
This paper outlines a method for indirectly estimating directional migration streams from net migration. Assuming the stability of age profiles in historical migration schedules, the method uses a regression model to predict the migration levels that, together with the assumed age profiles, best fit an observed data set. An application to Mexican census data illustrates the method.
