<span class="h3">Section 2 - Migration</span></p>
<p>The main objective of this section is to determine the relative directions in which the local born population have tended to move over periods of one, five, and ten years. Migration is even more important when cross classified with age, sex, ethnic groups, levels or educational attainment and level of training.</p>
<p>Internal migration also provides vital information on the direction of the flow of the population from rural to urban areas. It also allows the determination of migration streams and volume of movement over time. Migration is also a major factor in population change and in the redistribution of population among geographic areas.</p>
<p><span class="em">Question 7(a) - Place of Birth</span></p>
<p>The place of birth is the country in which the person was born.</p>
<p>This is a screening question used to determine those individuals who are local born as opposed to foreign-born.</p>
