Description

MIG1_P_ET indicates the person's region of previous residence within Ethiopia. Migration region codes from MIG1_P_ET are compatible with codes from GEO1_ET.

Click on the Source Variables tab for information on place of residence for each sample year. Source variables may contain more geographic unit detail but are not suitable for cross-temporal comparison.

Comparability — General

Users should be aware that MIG1_P_ET only captures migration within the past 10 years.

Where boundaries changed over time, units were harmonized to create units with boundaries that remain stable over time.

Boundary changes:

  • A 2004 referendum altered the boundary between the Oromia and Somali regions.
