Comparability — General
The codes are not integrated across samples. Most codes represent year ranges, which were impossible to make compatible. The labels for each code describe the ranges.
The universe differs across samples. Only non-citizens answered the question in the Spanish sample.
For a similar variable giving exact year of immigration for many more samples, see YRIMM.
Comparability — Ireland [top]
The year of immigration was originally collected from persons who lived abroad for one year or more, without consideration of birthplace. Thus, for consistency, persons born in Ireland were excluded from this variable for all samples.
The universe in Ireland samples is comparable. In Ireland 2002, 2006, and 2011 it is foreign-born persons age one or older who lived abroad for one year or more. In Ireland 1986, 1991, and 1996 it is foreign-born persons.
