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_MZ indicates the person's district of birth within Mozambique. Birthplace district codes in BPL2_MZ are compatible with codes in GEO2_MZ.
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 officially defined districts have populations less than 20,000, they have been regionalized (combined) with neighboring municipalities.
Boundary changes for BPL2_MZ are too numerous to list here, but users should be aware that there were changes over time.
In the 1997 and 2007 census, this question was asked only of household residents. In the 2017 census, the universe is all persons.
