Resumen
Descripción
Researchers in many fields, such as
demography, economics, and sociology, have established
various data collection methodologies and principles to
answer a range of academic and policy questions on
migration. Although the progress has been impressive, some
basic challenges remain. This paper addresses some basic,
yet fundamental, questions on identification of
international migrants and how their various demographic,
personal, and human capital characteristics are captured via
different data sources. The critical issues are the
construction of proper sampling frames in censuses,
registers, and surveys and the design of questionnaires in
household, labor market, and other relevant surveys. The
paper discusses how these data sources can be used to answer
policy questions in areas such as labor markets, education,
or poverty. The focus is on how some of the existing
shortcomings in availability, quality, and relevance of
migration data can be overcome via improvements in data
collection methods.
