Description
REMITT indicates whether the household received remittances from persons living elsewhere.
Comparability — Index

South Africa Tanzania Uganda Uruguay |
Comparability — General
The data for Botswana, Mexico, and South Africa report payments from persons living elsewhere, not only those living abroad. All other samples only report remittances received from persons living abroad.
The Malawi data include any remittances in the previous five years while the Mexico data do not indicate a time frame. All other samples specify remittances received during the last year.
Comparability — Armenia [top]
The 2011 sample indicates if the household received money from abroad in the last year. The original source variable indicates the frequency of remittance receipt. See AM2011A_0040 for more detail.
Comparability — Botswana [top]
The samples 1991, 2001, and 2011 ask about remittances from inside or outside Botswana. The census question in 1991 asks about remittances since August 1990, while in 2001 and 2011 it refers to remittances since September 30 (Independence Day). In all samples, the time frame covered is approximately the last year. The unharmonized source variables allow separately identifying remittances from inside or outside Botswana.
Comparability — Costa Rica [top]
The 2011 sample indicates if the household received money or goods from someone living abroad in the last year.
Comparability — Dominican Republic [top]
This variable is only available for the 2002 sample. A separate question asks for the monetary amount of remittances which can be found in the unharmonized source variables.
Comparability — Ecuador [top]
The data indicate remittances in 2010 from persons living abroad. The question asks explicitly for remittance money received, not goods.
Comparability — Fiji [top]
The census question indicates whether the household received money from overseas, but a follow up question refers specifically to the previous 12 months. The question asks explicitly for remittance money received, not goods.
Comparability — Malawi [top]
The data indicate remittances in the previous five years from persons living abroad. The source variable indicates whether remittances were in money or in goods, and a separate unharmonized variable records how regular these payments were.
Comparability — Mexico [top]
In 2015 and 2020, the data refers to income from someone living in other country or in another dwelling in Mexico. The census question does not include a specific time frame, it only asks about money received at least once and that is expected to be received again.
Comparability — Nicaragua [top]
The data indicate remittances in the previous 12 months from persons living abroad. The question asks explicitly for remittance money received, not goods.
Comparability — South Africa [top]
The data refer to payments from persons living elsewhere, including alimony. The period of payments was for the year roughly preceding the census: October 1995 through September 1996. The unharmonized source variable preserves the monetary value of the payments.
Comparability — Tanzania [top]
The 2012 data refers to remittances from foreign countries in the past 12 months. The census question was asked only of households with at least one member reported as living abroad. In REMITT, households without members living abroad are considered not to be receiving remittances from foreign countries.
Comparability — Uganda [top]
The unharmonized source variable contains details on whether the households received money, goods, or both money and goods.
Comparability — Uruguay [top]
The census question asks if the household received money from a relative abroad during the previous 12 months. A separate question asks for the monetary amount of remittances which can be found in the unharmonized source variables.

[] 16 Interest
[] Other cash activities (specify) ____
Since August 1990, did any member of this household receive:
2 Remittances (from· mines, Tirelo Sechaba, relatives, etc.)
4 Rent (from land/property)
8 Interest/Dividend/Bonus
16 Aid/Relief
In this section, we are interested in finding out whether the household received any cash payment as unearned income during the reference period. Unearned income refers to payments made to the household other than from employment, business profits or sale of one's own produce. Salaries and wages paid to members listed in part a above should not be included in answer to this question.
The most common types of unearned income are as follows:
2 Remittances: This includes cash gifts and transfers from relatives and friends working either abroad (e.g. South African mines, farms, etc.) or elsewhere in the country. It also includes family and child maintenance and payments to the household on account of the Tirelo Sechaba participants. It should be noted that cash remittances refer not only to cash which has been sent by post or mail but also to any cash transfers which have been delivered by hand or in some other way - as long as it is from a person in another household, other than the one being interviewed. Distance between households affected is immaterial. The transfer must be permanent. Cash loans to the household must not be included,
4 Rent: A household may receive payment for any property it lets out, such as a house or field, It should also include payments received for allowing its donkeys/mules/oxen to be used for ploughing.
8 Interest/Dividend/Bonus: Interest is money paid by a bank on a deposit account, while dividends/bonuses are payments from the profits of a business to shareholders or investors. For example, bonuses may be received from a co-operative society or BMC.
[p.48]
16 Aid/Relief: This refers to cash payments made directly by Government (o; any organisation) to alleviate the effects of drought or to assist the household to participate in agricultural activities.
Circle the appropriate answer code(s) if, since August 1990, any member of the household received money from these sources.
If none of the above applies, enter 0.
In the sample questionnaire in paragraph 133, the household received some remittances from their daughter Lorato in South Africa. Therefore 2 is circled.

E7. Since Independence Day 2000 did household member(s) receive cash from other cash receipts?
[] 2 Outside Botswana
[] 7 Rents
[] 15 Maintenance
[] 31 Employment
For some of these questions (e.g. for those whose codes are multiples of 2) you may circle more than one code, if more than one response applies.
These questions relate only to members of the household - i.e. those listed in Parts A and B but excluding any visitors listed in Part A. Include also household members who normally would have spent the census night with the household but who were temporarily elsewhere in Botswana. For example, the usual head of household could be away on business during the census period, but he might be the only income earner for the household. Since he was not present in the household during the census, his employment would not be recorded in Part A and it would appear that the household had no source of income. However, the fact that the household receives income from his employment will be recorded in E5, E6 and E7.
Note that questions in Part E of the questionnaire should relate only to activities within Botswana. For example, if a household member who is temporarily living in another country (and is therefore listed in Part B), has planted maize outside Botswana, that agricultural activity will not be recorded in column E2. If the same person owns cattle inside Botswana, then that ownership will be recorded in column E1.
The relevant portion of the sample questionnaire is shown on page 57:

Q: Since Independence Day last year (2000), did any member of this household receive cash from:
Remittances from:
[] 2 Outside Botswana
[] 8 Rents
[] 16 Maintenance
[] 32 Employment
In this section, we are interested in finding out whether the household received any cash payment or as unearned income during the reference period. Unearned income refers to payments made to the household other than from business profits or sale of one's own produce, goods or services.
If anyone in Part A (other than visitors) worked for cash in the past 30 days then you should automatically circle code 32. This code (32) should also be used if a household member had a job a few months ago, but is currently unemployed. Since the household received income from his previous employment since August 1990, the code for Employment would be circled in E7.
To ensure that codes 32 for employment are covered ask the respondent whether any household member received income from employment since Independence day (2000). If the answer is yes, then circle code 32 for employment in E6.
The most common types of unearned income are as follows:
This includes cash gifts and transfers from relatives, friends or others living or working elsewhere in the country. For example, if a household member's husband lives and works in Tsootsha and regularly sends part of his salary to her in Maun, this salary transfer would be recorded as a remittance from inside Botswana (code 1). Remittances from inside Botswana also include family and child maintenance payments receipts. It should be noted that cash remittances refer not only to cash which has been sent by post or mail, but also to any cash transfers which have been delivered by hand or in some other way. Distance between households affected is immaterial. The transfer must be permanent - cash loans to the household must not be included.
2. Remittances from Outside Botswana:
This includes cash gifts and transfers from relatives, friends or others living or working outside Botswana. For example, if a household member listed in Part B sends part of his salary to other household members; this salary transfer would be recorded as a remittance from outside Botswana (code 2). As above, cash remittances refer not only to cash which has been sent by post or mail, but also to any cash transfers which have been delivered by hand or in some other way. The transfer must be permanent - cash loans to the household must not be included.
4. Pension:
This is a payment, usually on a regular basis, by a previous employer to a worker who has retired or is no longer working for other reasons. For example, certain Government employees are entitled to stop work and draw their pensions on attaining the age of 45 years.
8. Rent:
A household may receive payment for any property it lets out, such as a house or field. It should also include payments received for allowing its donkeys/mules/oxen to be used for ploughing.
16. Maintenance:
This money is received when there is at least one child in the family who is been taken care of by the father, either voluntarily or as an order from the relevant court.
Circle the appropriate answer code(s) if, since August 2000, any member of the household received money from any of these sources.
If none of the above applies, enter 0 in the space just below the codes, but not in the shaded area.
Example: The agriculture and land acquisition section captured that there is at least one member of the household with poultry as well as one who planted sorghum. There is however none who owns land as the land used is a tribal communal. In E5 to E7 the household sold poultry in E5 for earning cash and employment was another cash earning activity.

For example, if a household member listed in Part B sends part of his/her salary to other household members; this salary transfer would be recorded as a remittance from outside Botswana (code 2). As above, cash remittances refer not only to cash, which has been sent by post or mail, but also to any cash transfers, which have been delivered by hand, or in some other way. The transfer must be permanent - cash loans to the household must not be included.
4. Pension
This is a payment, usually on a regular basis, by a previous employer to a worker who has retired or is no longer working for other reasons. For example, retired employees, old age pensioners and world war veterans are entitled to retirement pension, old age pension and world war veteran's pension respectively.
8. Rent
A household may receive payment for any property it lets out, such as a house or field. It should also include payments received for allowing its donkeys/mules/oxen to be used for ploughing.
16. Maintenance
This money is received when there is at least one child in the family who is being taken care of by the father/mother (not married to the mother/father), either voluntarily or as an order from the relevant court. It should be noted that persons paying (sending) maintenance must not be members of the household in reference.
Circle the appropriate answer code(s) if, since Independence Day, 2010 any member of the household received money from any of these sources. If household members did not receive cash from employment or from selling goods or providing services, then write 0 in the space below the codes, but not in the shaded area.
32. Employment
To ensure that code 32 for employment is covered, ask the respondent whether any household member received income from employment since Independence Day 2010. If the answer is yes, then circle code 32 for employment in E6.
64. Destitute Allowance
Money paid out by the government to persons classified as destitute.
128. Government Ratio
For example: food, clothing, toiletry, etc.
If none of the above applies, enter 0 in the space just below the codes but not in the shaded area.
