Comparability — General

Where boundaries changed over time, units were harmonized to create units with boundaries that remain stable over time. Where officially defined provinces have populations less than 20,000, they have been regionalized (combined) with neighboring provinces.

MIG2_5_PG only includes persons who were living in urban areas in the 1980 Papua New Guinea sample.
