Abstract
Currently, migration is a major driver of national and sub-national population change. The comparative study of migration, however, is hindered by data availability, quality and consistency. Furthermore, harmonisation of data collection processes and the data they generate is not close to being realised (Bell et al., 2002; Poulain et al., 2006). Therefore, our understanding of population change and the drivers of migration are limited, as is the evidence base for policies concerning migration or population change.
