1. Main challenges - emigration section Update of emigrants characteristics (profile) Obtaining time series on CARIM-E emigrants (evolution) Trying to estimate irregular migrants Emigration section: main challenges Immigration section Focus on flows data collection Next steps
1. Next steps emigration section Combining different sources Our side: Continuining in providing first hand data collected at the destination Your side: Continuining in providing first hand data collected: at the origin (LFSs, Census, specific household surveys) at the destination (Consular records) Emigration section: next steps Immigration section Focus on flows data collection Next steps

Source on CARIM-E emigrants: who counts? Institutions of destination countries Institutions of origin countries Sources Census Population Registers Household surveys Consulates Advantages Updated Many info Partial recovery of emigrants residing in countries which do not publish or simply collect data on immigrants (see e.g. Gulf Countries) Partial recovery of irregular emigrants Limitations Not available for some countries Scarcely comparable No info on irregular migrants Registration is voluntary Source: for an extended review of this topic, see Fargues, 2006 Emigration section: next steps Immigration section Focus on flows data collection Next steps
2. Immigration section - stock data Foreign nationals 1,330,191 Stateless 531,257 % of the resident population Citizenship not indicated 1,485,959 Source: Population census and Labour Force Survey (Moldova) (CARIM database) Emigration section Immigration section: the state of art of the database Focus on flows data collection Next steps
2. Main challenges - immigration section Major problem on the definition of «international migrants» (country of birth vs country of citizenship) Impressive presence of stateless and people not declaring their citizenship No source other than Census is currently available on the stock of immigrants (except for Moldova) Emigration section Immigration section: main challenges Focus on flows data collection Next steps
2. Next steps - immigration section (+) Combining several variables in order to detect the real size of immigrants (year of arrival for foreign born population and acquisitions of citizenship for foreign citizens) (+) Combining different sources (regularizations..) (+) The role of Population Register (long-term challenge) (?) Using flow data Emigration section Immigration section: next steps Focus on flows data collection Next steps
CARIM-E country Armenia Azerbaijan Belarus Georgia Moldova Russia Federation Ukraine Population Register: the state of art Defined by law but not implemented yet No No Defined by law but not implemented yet Yes No No Next steps (your side): New explanatory note on the state of art of the Population Register in each of CARIM country!

3. A focus on flow data collection in CARIM-E countries: DATA COMPARABILITY CARIM country Place of permanent residence (de iure population) Place of temporary stay (de facto population) Time criterion to separate place of residence and place of stay Armenia Azerbaijan Belarus Georgia "..a territory where a person have a right to reside and which is declared No defined as a place of residence" "..a house, a flat, or an official dwelling apartment, hostel, retirement and invalids home, where a competent person resides for a long period of time as a owner or by a rent contract" "..where a person resides temporarily - a hotel, sanatorium, tourist centre, hospital, etc. or a dwelling (of his/her own, of a relative, etc.) that is not the place of residence" "..is a location (address) of "..is a location (address) of premises or facilities for temporary premises, ownership, disposition accommodation, ownership, and (or) use of which has arisen to a disposition and (or) use of which citizen on the grounds established has arisen to a citizen on the by legislative acts, and in which he grounds established by legislative lives permanently or primarily" acts, and in which he temporarily stays" "..a place that has been choosen for residence. Minors are registered in the place of residence of their parents" Not defined 6 months 2 months (1 for foreigners) Since 2008: 1 year Before 2008: no criterion 3 months Moldova "..a place where a person lives permanently" Not defined 6 months Russia Federation Ukraine "..a dwelling space at the address of which the person is registered (permanently)."

3. A focus on flow data collection in CARIM-E countries: DATA RELIABILITY Understimation of migrant flows EMIGRATION: lack of incentives to de-register IMMIGRATION: Registrations in a place of stay are not counted by statistics and the majority of migrants is supposed to be registered in a place of stay, because: Russia: no time criterion; Visa-free agreements with most of the CIS countries result in non-registration of a certain part of migrants. Ukraine: existing collisions in legal norms and few incentives to register All countries: necessity to have a residence permit to register in place of residence Emigration section Immigration section Focus on flows data collection Next steps
Next steps: what need to be developed more on the database.. Collecting consular records (emigration stock) Focusing on tables which include acquisitions of citizenships and year of arrival (immigration stock) Providing us with long time-series statistics on flows in order to verify comparability (detailed annexed notes are of a strict importance) (flow) Providing us with a separate note on the state of art of the creation of a Population Register if relevant (flow and stock) As a whole, great attention needs to be pay to the annexed notes of the tables Emigration section Immigration section Focus on flows data collection Next steps
Info to be necessarily included into the annexed note of each table Source Institution which provides data Definitions (of migrants and of the reference population) Sampling methodology procedures Imputation procedures Other relevant info Emigration section Immigration section Focus on flows data collection Next steps
Example of Belarus (stock) 1. Source: Population Census 2. Definitions (a) Population residing in the Republic of Belarus include permanent resident people (registered in a place of residence, see note b) and temporary stayers (registered in a place of stay, see note c).. (b) Place of residence is a (c) Place of stay is a.. (d) Attained level of education includes: General primary (ISCED-1) persons having [ ]; General basic (ISCED-2) persons, having [ ], etc. 3. Institution which provides data National Statistical Committee of the Republic of Belarus.. 4. Data collection methodology: census.. 5. Other relevant info a) Period of data coverage: 0 hour October 14, 2009. b) Data availability: Data are available in [ ], see http://belstat.gov.by.. Emigration section Immigration section Focus on flows data collection Next steps
Example of Russia (flow) 1. Source: Federal Statistical Service of Russia (Rosstat) 2. Definitions The FMS od Russia does not operate with the terms 'migrants' / 'immigrants' / 'emigrants' but rather 'arrivals' (number of persons arrived) / 'departures' (number of persons departed) / 'foreign nationals'. In this table, 'number of persons arrived' is corresponding to number of foreign nationals who were registered during 2010 in a place of residence in Russia for permanent residence; 'number of persons departed' is corresponding to number of foreign nationals who were deregisteded during 2010 from a place of residence in Russia for permanent residence in another country. Net migration is the difference between the two variables. 3. Institution which provides data Data is initially provided by the Federal Migration Service of Russia (FMS). It is aggregated [ ] and published.. 4. Data collection methodology: Data is collected on the basis of information on registration / deregistration of foreign nationals in a place of residence in the Russian Federation which is accompanied by filling statistical registration forms 5. Other relevant info Data is published in [ ], See: http://www.gks.ru/bgd/regl/b11_107/main.htm. Emigration section Immigration section Focus on flows data collection Next steps
