Migration Statistics of Maluku Utara Province The Result of Long Form Population Cencus 2020

Migration, or permanent mobility, is one component of population growth in addition to fertility and mortality. However, compared with the data of fertility and mortality, migration data are still very scarce. This is caused by the absence of a specific survey on migration. Questions on migration is available in population census, intercensal population survey, and in the recent years several migration questions have also been covered in socio-economic survey. Migration is a rare occurrence where not all people experience it. Therefore migration data from surveys are commonly less accurate due to small sample sizes. Meanwhile, migration data derived from administrative records are still far from perfection.
