Abstract: The Migration survey will provide information on contemporary migration patterns, such as multiple years of entry, time outside the United States, and emigration, as well as on naturalization and monetary remittances. This survey will be the only source of nationally representative data on multiple years of entry to and emigration from the United States, the demographic characteristics of those migrants and emigrants, and on international remittances. Collecting these data will assist the U. S. Census Bureau, other government agencies, and other researchers to improve the quality of international migration estimates and to determine changes in migration patterns that are related to the nation’s population composition.
