  11. Output obtained January 5, 2020

  12. Example of pivoting January 5, 2020

  13. Demonstration of pivoting January 5, 2020

  14. Result of pivoting January 5, 2020

  15. Example of chart: Bar chart of foreign-born population by age and sex, Kazakhstan 2009 January 5, 2020

  17. Data export in many formats January 5, 2020

  18. Primary data sources Population census Population register Residence and exit permits Data collected at the border Surveys January 5, 2020

  19. Data availability • Tables 1-7: • good availability in year 2009 (or before) • average availability in year 2010 • bad availability for 2011 • Tables 8-11 (short-term): • generally bad availability on short-term migration. • 2 countries (Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan) did not provide any data. 1 Data available only from 2002. 2 Data available only from 2001.

  20. Data availability Biggest amount of data available for tables 1 and 2 in 2009  mostly data from censuses. Tables 3 to 6 (long-term migration) available in up to 6 out of 12 countries in 2009 and 2010, lack of data for 2011. Data on aquired citizenships fully available for 5 out of 12 countries in 2009 and for 4 out of 12 in 2010. Almost no fully filled tables on short-term migration (exception: Moldova fully provided data on short-term immigration). January 5, 2020

  21. Problems and challenges Some countries changing the formats of the tables; Some data could not be provided by the countries because it does not support the table format; Sometimes sums of age groups and/or sums of gender groups do not reflect the total numbers indicated; Missing data: not available but relevant? / available but not provided; Stock data vs. Flow data  sometimes misleading; Data source not always indicated; Very often, the disaggregated numbers by countries were given but the total numbers (e.g. total number of immigrants) are missing and were calculated upon the receipt of the tables; January 5, 2020

  22. Долгосрочная иммиграция по странам гражданства и полу Long-term immigration by citizenship and sex

  23. Outcomes and opportunities Continuous joint work and cooperation of all relevant (national statistical offices, ministries and other state institutions) agencies on the national level. Drawing capacities and institutional actors on national and international levels. January 5, 2020

  24. Next steps: Discussing specific data problems/issues with indvidual countries/focal points; Making the Clearinghouse public; Promoting the Clearinghouse in cooperation with NSI; Receiving from countries new/updated data; Review and improve questionnaire; Organize next data collection (tentatively summer 2012?)
