12. In which locality or area [paraje] did [the respondent] go to live after birth? (PerMi01)

This module is formulated for everyone.

The objective is to identify the migrations that the people have had throughout their lives. Migration is understood to be a change of habitual residency from a place of origin to a place of destination that outreaches the limits of the geographic division (locality, department, or country).

In which locality or area did he/she go to live after birth?

This question refers to the locality or area that constituted the first habitual residence of the person (in the case of having been born in the exterior, you should only record the country). Generally it deals with the same locality where his mother was living at the moment of birth. Consequentially, you must not note here the locality where the hospital, sanitarium, or private house where the mother gave birth is found.

Select the option

• In this locality or area. If the person's first habitual resident is in the same locality or area in which he/she is being interviewed.
• In another locality of this department: If the person went to reside in another locality or area of the same department in which he/she is being interviewed.

• Select the name of the locality from the list that the system displays.
• If the name of the locality is not on the list, consult the informant as to whether the place was in a rural area. If it is so, mark the option "rural."
• If the informant responds that it was an urban area, ask him/him if that locality is known by another name and search for the said name in the list.
• If the locality is known by another name or the name is not on the list, select the option "other." This option will only be used in very exceptional cases.

• In another department: If the person went to live in another locality or area of a department different than that in which he/she is being interviewed.

• Select the name of the department.
• Select the name of the locality from the list the system displays.
• If the name of the locality is not on the list, consult the informant about where the place was in a rural area. If it is so, mark the option "rural."
• If the informant responds that it was an urban area, ask him/him if that locality is known by another name and search for the said name in the list.
• If the locality is known by another name or the name is not on the list, select the option "other." This option will only be used in very exceptional cases.

• In another country. If the person lived in another country, select the country from the previous residency.
