| dc.description.abstract |
This present issue of the Bulletin deals mainly with international
migration statistics in Africa. It may be recalled that SIB No. 15 was
devoted to the subject of internal migration. This volume is therefore
complementary to that issue as it deals with the other subject which
would have been discussed at the Working Group on Migration Statistics
in 1982.
The first chapter discusses concepts, definitions and classifications
of international migration statistics, and the second enumerates and
evaluates the sources of data. Problems of identification and measurement of special categories of persons that cross international boundaries in Africa is the subject of the third chapter. The fourth chapter contains proposals for the improvement of international migration statistics in Africa within the context of the UN phased program.Environment statistics and national accounts are the other two topics covered by the Bulletin. Chapter 5 focuses on the development of environment statistics in Africa, while the annex contains various tables pertaining to national accounts. |
