Comparability — General

There are no comparability issues. The period of reference is actually somewhat more than seven year. The census asked for the person's place of residence on December 31, 1973. Since the census was taken in mid-March, the variable actually records residence roughly 7 years and 3 months ago.

Place of residence one years ago is available for all Portuguese samples in the variable MIG1_1_PT. Place of residence five years ago exists for the 1991 and 2001 Portugal samples in the variable MIG1_5_PT.
