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_et : public Editor {
public:
Mig1_p_et(VarPointer varInfo) : Editor(varInfo) {}
void edit() {
long a = getRecoded();
switch (dataSet) {
case dataset_id::et2007a: {
if (ET2007A_0413() == 9999 && ET2007A_0411() == 8)
a = GEO1_ET(0);
} break;
}
setData(a);
}
};
Description
MIG1_P_ET indicates the person's region of previous residence within Ethiopia. Migration region codes from MIG1_P_ET are compatible with codes from GEO1_ET.
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
Users should be aware that MIG1_P_ET only captures migration within the past 10 years.
Where boundaries changed over time, units were harmonized to create units with boundaries that remain stable over time.
Boundary changes:
- A 2004 referendum altered the boundary between the Oromia and Somali regions.
