2010 Data Will Shed Light on Migration Patterns

As noted, this data from the migration study will serve as a baseline for the information that will come out of the 2022 Housing and Population Census.  C.E.O. in the Ministry of Immigration, Doctor Gilroy Middleton, says he hopes the information also helps to demystifying migration.

“It goes back to the Migration Plan. The simple information as to where the majority of migrants are and as was noted, one of your question was how do we get updated information, and the response was from the next census. So, some of the data may be outdated, going back to twenty ten. The idea is that the migration plan will be comprehensive. We will have to sit down, digest the information, myself and the directors in the Ministry of Immigration, also Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade and then see how we could utilize it. But, come January we are sitting down with all the C.E.O.s and technical individuals and asking them to inform us how migrants, migration relates to their ministries. The consultants will interview them, and we hope by this time next year we would have concluded that process to see the way forward. But, it is a lot of information in there. As I mentioned, it demystifies migration. It tells us the largest foreign population, Guatemalans, then Hondurans, individuals from Salvador.”
