Chapter V. POPULATION BASES

The ‘place of usual residence’ is the geographic place where the enumerated person usually spends their daily rest, assessed over a defined period of time including the census reference time p.397

The population base to be used for international comparisons purposes is the ‘usually resident population’. The ‘usually resident population’ of a country is composed of those persons who have their place of usual residence in the country at the census reference time and have lived, or intend to live, there for a continuous period of time of at least 12 months. A ‘continuous period of time’ means that absences (from the country of usual residence) whose durations are shorter than 12 months do not affect the country of usual residence. The same criteria apply for any relevant territorial division (being the place of usual residence) within the country p.398

MIGRATION in CIS (1)

Migration between countries of the CIS, 2014thousand persons

Departures to CIS countries (country of departure data)

Arrivals to CIS countries (country of arrival data)

Azerbaijan, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Russia

MIGRATION in CIS (2)

CISSTAT conducted the experimental calculations, using the method of "mirror statistics" on migration data

Total accumulated over 24 years (1991-2014) differences in data migration amounted to about 5 million people

The actual population in the Commonwealth by 2015 estimated on 5 million people less

282 million people – 5 million people = 277 million people
