Section 4 - Birthplace and residence

These questions are to be asked of all persons.

These questions are intended to study internal migration or the movement of people between the parishes in Jamaica. Movements apply only to those taking place between parishes and residence abroad is not regarded as a move for the purpose of studying internal migration.

5.50 Question 4.5 Year of entry into Parish
This question is to be asked only of persons born in Jamaica (See Q4.3). Write in the last two digits of the year in the boxes provided, for persons entering the parish before 1900, record "00".

If the individual was born in the parish and at the end of the census is resident in the same parish and has never resided in another parish then the year of entry will be the same as the year of birth recorded at Q3.3a.

[p.46]

If the individual had previously resided in this parish and then lived outside of it for 6 months or more, record the year in which he/she last returned to reside in this parish.

If the individual has resided abroad but has not lived in any other parish in Jamaica then he is not regarded as having lived outside of his parish of birth. In this case the year of entry will be the same as the year of birth.
