Description
For persons not in their state of birth, MIGYRSBR indicates how many years the person has resided in their current state of residence. The variable pertains only to Brazil.
Comparability — General
This variable is largely comparable across samples; however, the universe changes over time. The variable always indicates years residing in the state, but in some years only interstate movers are in the universe, while in others any person who moved from their municipality of birth are included.
The 1960-1980 responses were combined into intervals. The data are coded to the first year of the interval. The labels describe the intervals. The 1991-2000 samples report the exact number of years.
The 2000-2010 samples also report years residing in current municipality in MIGYRS1.
