* * * * * * * Only found version in Arabic, so not know if labour migration-related questions are included. * * * * * * Sample Surveys Similar to a Census, but administered to a limited number of persons (or households) who represent the population as a whole Draw sample from different sampling units Household Individual (e.g. border/passenger survey)? Establishment Household Surveys General purpose (multi-topic) Main focus of the survey is not the study of international migration, but rather some other topic (e.g. labour force and employment) Limit to the number and types of migration questions which can be added. Limited sample of migrants if samples are derived from regular probability methods and migration is a relatively “rare” event. Household Surveys Specialized Main focus is migration Detailed questions Limited sample size (often not nationally representative)? Often carried out by academia, NGO, International Organization Survey Design Cross-sectional (conducted at one point in time) Longitudinal (follow a person or household members over time, e.g. panel data) Household Surveys National surveys sometimes ask migration-related questions like place of birth, citizenship, and previous residence, as well as other dimensions of international migration, like reason for moving or remittances. Household surveys work best for measuring characteristics and the impact of migrants and migration, and less so for measuring size of migration flows or stocks. Advantages Using a representative sample of the population reduces cost and increases frequency of data collection (compared to a Census) Allows more flexibility on the number and types of questions which can be asked (can be tailored to specific research needs or policy concerns)? Sample will include irregular migrants (unless collective housing is not included), though many might be hesitant to respond (non-response) and/or might not answer questions truthfully Disadvantages Cost (sustainability)?
