Migration characteristics of persons registered in the Municipal Basic Administration of Personal Data (GBA), uncoordinated (01-01-1995-01-07-2018)

Description

This bus component from the Social Statistical File (SSB) of the CBS contains data from persons who settle in the Netherlands from abroad. Fixed is the date of establishment and the country from which one comes from. For persons who settle abroad from the Netherlands, the date of departure and the country of destination is recorded. This information is available for the period 1 January 1995 – present. 'Heden ' is the last day of the month as stated in the component version number. For example component VRLGBAMIGRATIEBUSV2013091 contains data until 30 September 2013. In the DPA, specific rules apply to be registered or deregistered as a migrant. See the variable VRLMIGRATIETYPE. As soon as a migration movement takes place, an end date (VRLEINDEMIGRATIEDATE) is added to the record of the previous migration movement. A new record will also be added with the date of the start of the new migration movement (VRLAANVANGMIGRATIEDATE). The file is of the bus type. Bus type means that the data file (the component) has a form in which in a record (a row in the file) attributes are attached to an entity using a time key. The time key consists of a start date and an end date. When a change occurs in one or more attributes, a new record is created. There shall be no overlap in the time keys of successive records for a specific entity.

This file is not suitable for determining the annual number of migrations as published (once) by team Demography. There are two reasons for this: — all changes relating to past messages, which have become known in a later year, are also taken into account in older years; — messages fulfilled within demographic statistics are not always counted in the year of event but in the year of receipt. Within this bus it is not possible to distinguish this. Users who do want or need to connect to the numbers published by Team Demography are recommended to use the GBAMIGRATIEGEBEURTENISBUS file. B. In this file migration movements have been made consistent with each other. For example, if a person has previously been removed administratively and then immigrates, the previous removal is changed to an emigration (with unknown country of destination). C. Of all those who have established themselves in the Netherlands before 1 January 1995, the VRLAANVANGMIGRATIEDATE was set on 1 January 1995. ### Population Includes all persons who have ever registered in the DPA from abroad and those who have settled abroad from 1 January 1995 from the Netherlands.
