Interviewer instructions
Section 2: Birthplace and residence
[All persons]
These questions are very important for the main reasons that they:
(1) Will establish the "de jure" population on which the final Census tabulations will be based. The "de jure" count identifies persons at their usual place of residence.
(2) Are important for studying movement of the population between parishes in Jamaica. Movements apply only to those taking place between parishes. Residence abroad is not regarded as a move for the purpose of studying internal migration.
[Questions 2.7-2.10 are relevant to persons born in Jamaica who have lived abroad for five years or more continuously]
5.65 Question 2.10: Reason for returning
Score here the relevant response from those stated. The categories stated represent what are regarded as the most common responses. In the case of "Involuntary Return", include here deportation. Care must be taken, however, not to ask the individual if he/she was deported. Remember also that deportation is not always linked to criminal activity. Check the reason "Objective abroad achieved" if the respondent indicates that he went abroad for a specific purpose and, having accomplished that objective, decided to return home.
