[Questions 5-9]
The purpose of Questions 5 to 9 is to study migration patterns, both short-term and long-term. The resulting information will give us a picture of where people are moving to and from and their characteristics in terms of age, sex, education, occupation, etc.

Comparing a person's place of birth (Question 5) and his or her current place of usual residence (Question 7) gives an indication of the extent of longer-term migration. Likewise, if a person lived outside the country for a continuous period of one year or more (Question 9) it is possible to determine the person's country of origin and the period he or she took up residence in Ireland.
Nationality (Question 6) was asked for the first time in the 2002 census and is important in the context of a more culturally diverse Ireland. [Note: give a table of usual residents by main nationality groupings.]
Location (Question 7) is a key characteristic that is used with other data to build an accurate picture of our population. It is the basis for the annual population estimates and for population projections. It is also key in determining changes to electoral boundaries.
By comparing a person's usual residence one year before the census (Question 8) and their residence at census time (Question 7) we get an indication of the extent to which people change residence. The responses to this question are particularly useful in monitoring internal migration within the State.

9 Have you lived outside the Republic of Ireland for a continuous period of one year or more?

Answer if aged 1 year or over and living in Ireland.
[] 1 Yes
[] 2 No
If 'Yes', write in the year of last taking up residence in the Republic of Ireland and the country of last previous residence ______

Question 9 -- Have you lived outside the Republic of Ireland for a continuous period of one year or more?
This question is for persons aged 1 year or over. If your place of usual residence is in the Republic of Ireland and you were either:

  • born in this country and lived outside it for a continuous period of one year or more, or
  • born abroad and lived outside Ireland for a continuous period of one year or more,

then you should mark box 1 (Yes). You should also write in the year of last taking up residence in this country and the country of last previous residence.

Question 6-10. The purpose of questions 6 - 10 is to study migration patterns, both short-term and long-term. The resulting information will give us a picture of where people are moving to and from and their characteristics in terms of age, sex, education, occupation etc.

Comparing a person's place of birth (question 6) and his or her current place of usual residence (question 7) gives an indication of the extent of longer term migration.

[Examples omitted.]

Location (question 7) is a key characteristic that is used with other data to build an accurate picture of our population. It is the basis for the annual population estimates and for population projections. It is also used to determine changes to electoral boundaries.

By comparing a person's usual residence one year before the Census (question 8) and their residence at Census time (question 7), we get an indication of the extent to which people change residence. The responses also provide data on the extent of internal migration within Ireland.

2. Instructions for answering questions :

e. Year of immigration
The data on year of immigration allows us to analyze the absorption of immigrants from different countries and to describe their situation, based on the immigration wave in which they came to Israel.
Question 3.130 - In what year did you immigrate to Israel?

- People who have an ID card and were not born in Israel will be asked about their year of immigration to Israel. Persons missing an ID card will be asked about their year of entering Israel.
- If children were born abroad to Israeli parents and they now live in Israel, type the year of entry into Israel.
- If persons missing an ID card entered Israel more than once (for example, foreign workers), type the year of their last entry into Israel.
- If a person decided to immigrate to Israel after staying in the country under a different status (tourist or temporary resident) type their date of immigration- i.e. the date when they officially received an immigrant status. For example: if a student came for a year of studies in a university, and then decided to change his status to that of an immigrant, type the date when he received his immigrant status.
- If a person immigrated (or entered) Israel in 2008, ask about the month (and day) of immigration in order to clarify whether he immigrated to Israel before or after the determining date.
