Interviewer instructions

<svar v="MX95A406 MX95A407 MX95A408 MX95A409 MX95A410 MX95A411 MX95A412 MX95A413 MX95A414 MX95A415">IV Migration In this section the changes of habitual residence of the population from one entity to another or to a country other than Mexico are registered. [graphic of the question from the census form] Migration is understood to be a change in habitual residence from one entity to another or from one municipality (delegation) to another (internal migration); also from one country to another (international migration). This section contains two focuses described below: To investigate the state and international migration (number of people who came to or left Mexico), based on the previous place of residence (questions 4.1 to 4.5). To know the place of residence on a set date (November 1990) and therefore the migration at the municipal and state level as well as international immigration (questions 4.6 to 4.7). </svar>

<svar a="all" v="MX95A412 MX95A413">4.5 Time of current residence This question refers to the time that a person has been living in the entity of the interview. The expression "since the last time arrived" is used when the informant declares the time lived in many occasions in the same entity. If this is the case, ask to only be reported the time past since returning the last time. It is important to mention that the answer of this question is written down in months or years. [p. 99] If they give you answers like "since I arrived in 1986," calculate the time the current residence, in the following manner. Subtract the year that the person arrived at the entity (1986) from the year of the interview (1995), (1995-1986=9), to determine that the time lived is nine years. Reintroducing the already mentioned situation, the person born in Mérida, Yucatán, who at six years of age moved to Jalisco, in the moment of the interview has been living in the current residence (Jalisco) 25 years. Also when 99 is written down, "Does not know," it should be only in the month column (4.5A) </svar>
