Abstract

Data availability and comparability remain key challenges to comparative internal migration research. The perennial issues of temporal and geographical comparability are compounded by differences in data collection instruments: censuses, registers and surveys. For cohort studies that seek to trace migration trajectories, these differences are overlayed by the choice of data collection strategy: prospective versus retrospective. This chapter presents the various sources of internal migration data available to researchers, discusses their strengths, limitations and utility for cohort analysis and identifies two promising sources of data: population registers and retrospective surveys. It then reviews migration data availability in Europe and presents the dataset used in the book: the Study of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE). It concludes that the advent of comparable, nationally representative retrospective datasets in Europe and beyond, coupled with the increasing availability of register data, should enable cohort analysis of migration, and eventually allow cohort and period analysis to proceed in tandem, which in turn will facilitate the analysis of migration as a life-course trajectory.
