Combining migration data from multiple sources: Applications to internal movements in England, 1999-2007 James Raymer with Peter W.F. Smith and Corrado Giulietti Southampton Statistical Sciences Research Insitute (S3RI) Centre for Spatial Analysis and Policy, University of Leeds, 19 February 2009
ESRC project on Combining Migration Data in England and Wales • Develop a methodology for combining migration data and for producing ‘more detailed’ flows over time • Applications include flows by ethnicity, economic activity and education at regional, county and area group levels
Background • Internal migration data in England are limited due to differences in sources, availability, quality and measurement, e.g., • National Health Service Central Register • Census • Labour Force Survey
Significance • The combination of multiple data sources increases the capacity to study migration and population change for specific groups by producing • harmonised data sets • time series • Estimates can be used for subnational projections, planning or policies
Outline • A general log-linear model for combining data • Ethnic migration at regional level, 1991-2007 • Combining census and health registration data • Results • Economic activity migration at county level, 1999-2007 • Combining census, survey and health registration data • Results • Conclusions and future work
A general log-linear model for combining migration data • We are interested in estimating five-way migration flow tables over time • The five dimensions are origin, destination, age, sex and some other ‘more detailed’ variable • Migration flow tables are composed of various hierarchical structures, not all of which are necessary for accurate prediction • If certain (important) structures are unavailable, they can be ‘borrowed’ from auxiliary data sources
Log-linear models for origin, destination and age migration flow tables • Saturated model • Unsaturated model • Unsaturated-with-offset model
Ethnic migration • Categorical variables • 9 origins (O) and destinations (D) • 16 age groups (A) • 2 sexes (S) • 4 ethnic groups (E) • 1991-2007 National Health Service (NHS) register* • OD, OAS and DAS tables each year • 1991 and 2001 censuses • ODAS and ODSE * Males undercounted
Reported proportions of NHS interregional migration in England by sex, 1991-2007 1991 and 2001 Census = 50.8 M and 49.2 F
Age patterns of NHS interregional migration in England by sex, 1991 and 2007
Basic framework • Data preparation • Identification of key structures and theoretical model • Estimate the flows • Analyse the results
Identifying the ethnic migration model: Analysis of Census 2001 data structures • ODAS table • Key structures are OD, OA, DA and AS • ODSE table • Key structures are ODE, S • Theoretical model (ODASE) • ODE, OA, DA, AS
NHSCR Census Model specification • Steps • Construct time series of ODE tables using geometric interpolation of counts from 1992 to 2000 and extrapolation to 2007 • Use iterative proportional fitting to estimate flows, where the ODE tables are adjusted to match simultaneously all of the counts imposed by the NHSCR tables • Adjust counts of males for three age groups
Results: Estimated levels of South Asian, Black and Chinese & Other interregional migration in England, 1991-2007 % White 1991 = 94 2001 = 90 2007 = 85

White South Asian Results: Estimated interregional migration from South East by ethnicity, 1991-2007 LO LO SW EA Black Chinese & Other LO LO
Results: Estimated age-specific migration of female South Asians: 1991, 1999 and 2007 West Midlands to London South East to London London to South East London to West Midlands
Categorical variables • 47 origins (O) and destinations (D) • 12 age groups, 15-74 (A) • 2 sexes (S) • 6 economic activity groups (G): Self employed, employee, unemployed, retired, other inactive and students • 1999-2007 NHS Patient Registry Data System* • OD, OAS and DAS tables each year • 2001 census • ODAS and ODSG • 1999-2007 Labour Force Survey • AG and SG Economic activity migration * Males undercounted
Age patterns of PRDS inter-county migration in England by sex, 1999 and 2007
Identifying the economic activity migration model • Theoretical model (ODASG) • ODG, OA, DA, AS, AG, SG • 1st step: Combine LFS and Census data • 2nd step: Combine estimates from 1st step with PRDS data
Results: Overall levels of migration by economic activity groups, 1999-2007
Results: Spatial patterns of employee and inactive migration from Greater Manchester (top 10 flows), 1999 Employee Inactive
Results: Spatial patterns of student migration from Greater Manchester and Hampshire (top 10 flows), 1999
Results: Spatial patterns of retired migration from Greater Manchester and Hampshire (top 10 flows), 1999
Results: Spatial patterns of retired migration from Greater Manchester (top 5 flows), 1999-2007
Results: Age- and sex-specific migration of selected economic activity groups from Greater Manchester (top flow), 1999 Retired to Lancashire Employee to Cheshire Students to West Yorkshire Inactive to Lancashire
Conclusions • Flexible model and framework for combining migration data • Level of detail • Geography • Sources of information • Result is a synthetic data base that takes advantage of several available data sources • Estimates can be used for analysis, projections or planning
Future work • In the next six months • Model ethnic migration flows at county level • Extend approach to estimate flows by education • Test model to predict flows between local authorities, say, within a county or region • In the next few years… • Link this framework and resulting estimates with subnational population modelling • Extend this framework to analyse other transition data, such as health, labour force and household change
