HANDBOOK
on the Use of Administrative Sources and Sample Surveys
to Measure International Migration in CIS$PVOUSJFT
Migration is a powerful driver and important consequence of economic,

political and social change, and therefore needs to be adequately measured
and understood. However, the improvement of statistical systems to measure
migration has been a slow process because of weak coordination between
migration statistics producers, discrepancies in the applied definitions, and
challenges related to data collection.
The objective of this handbook is to guide statisticians and other professionals

in producing and using data on international migration from administrative
sources and household surveysLQ&,6FRXQWULHV. &KDSWHU,RI the handbook
describes the key concepts and definitions for the measurement of
international migration &KDSWHU ,, provides practical information on the
sources of administrative data and their use, and highlights the related
methodological and organizational challenges. &KDSWHU ,,, addresses the
use of sample surveys to measure international migration and provides an
inventory of migration surveys and best practices &KDSWHUV ,, DQG ,,,
