MEDSTAT Programme - Adapting residence permits registers in the Maghreb countries to measure international migration flows and stocks - Products Statistical working papers

MED-Migration (1997-2002), the specific component of MEDSTAT I, the Euro-Mediterranean statistical co-operation program, notably focused its activities on the following aspects:
- the evaluation of migration statistics in the Mediterranean countries,
- the evaluation of the existing or potential sources relevant for the production of migration statistics
- the set up of recommendations/manuals - common to the Mediterranean region or to a sub-region (Maghreb) - aiming at developing these sources to enhance the production of migration statistics
These recommendations/manuals are concentrated on three statistical and/or administrative sources:
- the borders cards
- the residence permits
- the surveys (censuses): emigration module
These various recommendations/ manuals are subject to a series of four Working Papers.
