Section 2 - Migration

The main objective of this section is to determine the relative directions in which the local born population have tended to move over periods of one, five, and ten years. Migration is even more important when cross classified with age, sex, ethnic groups, levels or educational attainment and level of training.

Internal migration also provides vital information on the direction of the flow of the population from rural to urban areas. It also allows the determination of migration streams and volume of movement over time. Migration is also a major factor in population change and in the redistribution of population among geographic areas.

Question 8(a) - Usual residence - All persons (both local and foreign born)

The response positions for this question are laid out in four categories:

1. This address
2. Elsewhere in Trinidad and Tobago
3. Abroad
4. Not stated

Please note the skip instructions.

If the response is 1 - This address, skip to question 9. Do not make an entry in question 8 (b).

If the response is 2 - Elsewhere in Trinidad and Tobago, go to question 8(b)

If 3 - Abroad, skip to question 9.

Use the ''not stated" box to refer to persons who refuse to state their usual residence, before skipping to question 9.

Question 8(b) - Address of place of usual residence

Although most persons will have no difficulty in stating their place of usual residence, some confusion may arise in a number of special cases where persons may appear to have more than one (1) usual residence.

These cases include persons:

Who maintain two or more residences-;

Who sleep away from their homes during the working week but return home for a few days at the end of the week.

Students living at a school away from their parental home;

Members of the armed forces living at a military barracks but still maintaining private living quarters away from the installation.

To avoid such problems take the place where the individual sleeps most nights of the week as his/her usual residence.
