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 Mig2_5_pe : public Editor {

Description
MIG2_5_PE indicates the person's province of residence five years ago within Peru. Migration province codes from MIG2_5_PE are compatible with codes from GEO2_PE.
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
Where boundaries changed over time, units were harmonized to create units with boundaries that remain stable over time. Where officially-defined provinces have populations less than 20,000, they have been regionalized (combined) with neighboring provinces.
Boundary changes for MIG2_5_PE are too numerous to list here, but users should be aware that there were changes over time.
