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
- No supplemental programming
- Instructions for interpreting harmonization documents

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.
MIG2_5_PG only includes persons who were living in urban areas in the 1980 Papua New Guinea sample.
