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 Mig2_p_cm : public Editor {
public:
Mig2_p_cm(VarPointer varInfo) : Editor(varInfo) {}
void edit() {
long a = getRecoded();
switch (dataSet) {
case dataset_id::cm1976a: {
if (CM1976A_0428() == 99999)
a = GEO2_CM(0);
} break;
case dataset_id::cm1987a: {
if (CM1987A_0431() == 0)
a = GEO2_CM(0);
} break;

setData(a);

};

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
There are very minor differences in the universe of respondents.
Where boundaries changed over time, units were harmonized to create units with boundaries that remain stable over time. Boundary changes for MIG2_P_CM are too numerous to list here, but users should be aware that there were changes over time.
