Abstract

The Spanish Institute for National Statistics (INE) has decided to create
new Migration Statistics (Estadística de Migraciones) based upon
Residential Variation Statistics (Estadística de Variaciones
Residenciales). This article presents arguments to support this decision,
in view of the continued lack of consistency found among the sources
of the Spanish statistics system for measuring population mobility.
Specifically, an insight is provided into the problems of underestimation
and internal inconsistency in the Spanish Labour Force Survey when
measuring immigration rates, based upon discrepancies identified in the
three international immigration flow series produced by this survey.
