The 2017 household survey of migration conducted by “Research Center” is a follow-up survey (repeated cross-section) to those conducted in the years 2015 and 2016.
The survey gives an opportunity to:
- Assess the influence of external migration on living conditions of households;
- Restructure the whole timetable of trips done by migrant members of households prior to the monitoring;
- Measure migration potential of population;
- Analyze separate survey questionnaires for returned migrants and migrants staying abroad to reveal the issues they face abroad and after arrival to Armenia, a cause–effect relationship of the phenomenon, etc.
