• From „Family“ to „Household“
• New Parameters:
• Citizenship
• Temporarily Present and Absent
• Counting only „Permanently Residing“
• Place of Employment
• Special Templates for Certain Types of
Migration (i.e. Emigration Form in Georgia)
Criteria for Migrant
Categorization
„COUNTRY/PLACE OF BIRTH“
International Boundaries Existing at the
Time of Census
Large numbers of foreign-born migrants
who once were citizens of the same
country
Criteria for Migrant
Categorization
„COUNTRY/PLACE OF BIRTH“
TOTAL in Russian Federation:
145,2 mln (Census 2002)
13,6 million foreign born
1,5 million non-Russian
citizens
SOLUTION: info on countries of birth – special notice of those
born within the former Soviet Union bounderies
Criteria for Migrant
Categorization
„COUNTRYof CITIZENSHIP“
Naturalisation
(special schemes: „compatriots
in RF“, „oralmans“ in
Kazakhstan
Double Citizenship
Criteria for Migrant
Categorization
„RESIDENCE“
„Usual“ versus „Permanent“:
still remaining confusion in terminology
„PREVIOUS PLACE OF USUAL RESIDENCE
AND DATE OF ARRIVAL IN THE
CURRENT PLACE OF RESIDENCE“
Criteria for Migrant
Categorization
• Ethnicity
• Reason for Migration
• Country of Birth of Parents
General Conclusions
• In EECA – „citizenship“ and „place of
birth“, but not „country of birth of parents“
• Need to take into account the perculiar
migration processes
• Adaptability of recommendations to
national contexts
