Measuring International Migration: Theory and Practice

Abstract

This volume is the result of the collaboration between the International Migration Review 2 and two of the scientific committees of the International Union for the Scientific Study of Population (IUSSP). The Committee on International Migration and the Committee on Data Collection and Processing in LDC's jointly organized a Workshop entitled “International Migration Statistics: Their Problems and Use” that took place in Ottawa, Canada from 11 to 13 November 1987. Preliminary versions of about half of the articles contained in this volume were presented at that Workshop. A full report of the discussions that took place at the Workshop is also included.
