Interviewer instructions
Record the most important reasons leading to his first migration to other place. In
case it is vague between “follow family” and “move due to business demands”, then the
interviewer has to take respondent's opinions for reference to see which is the main and decisive
reason leading to that migration to record the result.
Reason “Forced move” is a mandatory reason due to law violation
