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
- Supplemental programming
- Instructions for interpreting harmonization documents
class Mig1_p_by : public Editor {
public:
Mig1_p_by(VarPointer varInfo) : Editor(varInfo) {}
void edit() {
long a = getRecoded();
switch (dataSet) {
case dataset_id::by1999a: {
if (BY1999A_0437() < 1995)
a = 112099;
} break;
case dataset_id::by2009a: {
if (BY2009A_0412() == 398 || BY2009A_0412() == 888)

Boundary changes:
- Minsk city split from Minsk region.
Note that for 2009, MIG1_P_BY lists persons who have moved region within Belarus less than 5 years ago. 1999 lists persons who migrated to the current place of residence.
