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
In the 1985 sample the primary administrative level was organized into thirty provinces, but after 1985, the primary administrative level of Burkina Faso was completely reorganized into thirteen regions. This dramatic change in geographic organization makes integration between the 1985 sample and the later samples impossible.
See MIG2_1_BF for province of residence 1 year ago from all other Burkina Faso samples.
