Explore how IPUMS created this variable
Most IPUMS data transformations are performed using variable harmonization tables that specify how each value in the source data is recoded. Some variables also require programming logic in addition to the harmonization table. The harmonization documents for this variable are:
- Harmonization table
- No supplemental programming
- Instructions for interpreting harmonization documents
Description
BPL2_EC indicates the person's canton of birth in Ecuador. Birthplace canton codes from BPL2_EC are compatible with codes from GEO2_EC.
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
Where boundaries changed over time, units were harmonized to create units with boundaries that remain stable over time. Where officially defined cantons have populations less than 20,000, they have been regionalized (combined) with neighboring cantons.
Boundary changes for BPL2_EC are too numerous to list here, but users should be aware that there were changes over time.
The areas included in the non-delimited zones might vary from one census year to another. The 1990 and 2010 samples mention Las Golondrinas, Manga Del Cura, and El Piedrero as non-delimited zones.
