  1. Data collection in Eastern Europe, Caucasus and Central Asia Pablo Lattes Migration Section, Population Division - DESAUnited Nations, New York Regional workshop on migration statistics, 26 - 27 October 2011, Antalya, Turkey

  2. International migration data • Migrant stocks Refers to the stock of “foreign born” or “foreigners” living in a specific country on a specific date. Foreigners may include second generation (children of immigrants) • Migration flows (inflows and outflows) Refers to the event of moving, from one country (origin) to another country (destination) in a given period (usually 1 year)

  3. United Nations Recommendations on Statistics of International Migration 1998 • Stock of international migrants present in a country refers to persons who have ever changed their country of usual residence • Focus of interest on two subpopulations • Foreign-born populationof a country includes all persons who have that country as country of usual residence and whose place of birth is located in another country. • Foreign population of a country includes all persons who have that country as usual residence and who are citizens of another country.

  4. Recommended stock tabulations • Native and foreign-born population by age and sex • Foreign-born population by country of birth, age and sex • Foreigners by country of citizenship, age and sex • Foreign-born 15+ years and over by educational attainment and sex • Foreigners 15+ years of age by educational attainment and sex • Population by citizenship status, age and sex • Economically active foreign-born by occupation Source: Migrant stock tables of United Nations Statistics Division Population census questionnaire 2011

  5. Data availability stocks by country of origin Migration Section – Population Division - DESA, 2011

  6. Migrant Stock by Age and Sex Migrants in the World: not so old and a balanced sex ratioMigrants in the CIS + Georgia: significantly older and females World CIS + Georgia Migration Section – Population Division - DESA, 2011

  7. Comparison of total population and migrant stock CIS + Georgia (migrant stock) CIS + Georgia (total population) Migration Section – Population Division - DESA, 2011

  8. Percentage female among the migrant stock by age – 2010 United Nations Population Division/DESA Source: UNPD estimates

  10. International migration flows Criterion Change in place of residence Citizenship Place of birth Sources Administrative records, (residence permits, population registers, border statistics) Advantages Annual data Disadvantages Difficult to compare, limited coverage (~ 40 countries world wide)

  11. Recommended flow tabulations • Inflow by reason (work, study, etc.) • Inflow and outflow by citizenship status, sex and age • Inflow and outflow by origin/destination • citizenship • country of residence (previous/next) • country of birth Source: United Nations Statistics Division Questionnaire on International Travel and Migration

  12. Data sources for international migration flows • Administrative registers (Population registers, registers of foreigners, registers of asylum seekers, overseas worker registers) • Permit data (residence permit, exit permits, status adjustments) • Border statistics (Passenger cards, passenger survey) • National Household Survey / Census (Place of usual residence on year/ five/ ten years before)

  17. Five Steps Toward Better Migration Data

  18. The five steps to improve migration data in the long term, with existing institutions and at low cost are … A M C P B • Ask basic census questions – country of birth, citizenship, previous residence by age and sex – and tabulate and disseminate the answers • Make better use of existing administrative data sources • Compile existing data from surveys • Provide access to micro data • Build capacity to collect and disseminate data Source: Centre for Global Development, 2009; based on the Report of the Commission on International Development Research and Policy
