Description
BPLIE indicates the person's region of birth within Ireland.
BPLIE is harmonized by name, not by boundary changes.
Comparability — General
This variable mostly comparable across time apart from the minor differences in the universes between 1901-1996 and 2002-2016. The universe for the 2002-2016 samples is present persons, whereas the universe for earlier samples is all persons.
Northern Ireland is included in 'abroad'. In 2011, the county of birth is available in the corresponding unharmonized source variable.
The 2016 sample only reports this information for persons residing in their county of birth; other persons are coded to "Ireland, region different than usual residence."
