Notes

GENERAL NOTES
----------------------
The universe of this variable should cover those who previously changed their place of residence, whether from the place of birth or from other residence place preceding the current one (for whom BIR=0).

COUNTRY SPECIFIC NOTES
----------------------------------
In the original data, the reason for changing the residence place was not collected for 1509 cases reported to have changed their place of residence (when the governorate of residence is compared to that of birth). Those cases represent around 7.4% of the observations, and were recoded "not stated" in the harmonized variable.
