Notes

GENERAL NOTES
----------------------
The content of this variable is not uniform.
Through other migration statuses we attempt to capture those who migrate from one region to another inside the country (if the place of birth is different from the place of residence inside the country).

COUNTRY SPECIFIC NOTES
----------------------------------
The Immigration status is missing for 192 cases in the original data.

A person is considered a migrant if the place of birth is the same as the place of residence however he has migrated to a different residence in between.
