Interviewer instructions
<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 8(a) - Usual residence - All persons (both local and foreign born)</span></p>

<p>The response positions for this question are laid out in four categories:</p>
<div class="i1">1. This address<br />2. Elsewhere in Trinidad and Tobago<br />3. Abroad<br />4. Not stated</div><p>Please note the skip instructions.</p>

<p>If the response is 1 - This address, skip to question 9. Do not make an entry in question 8 (b).</p>

<p>If the response is 2 - Elsewhere in Trinidad and Tobago, go to question 8(b)</p>

<p>If 3 - Abroad, skip to question 9.</p>

<p>Use the ''not stated" box to refer to persons who refuse to state their usual residence, before skipping to question 9.
