  3. SOURCES OF STATISTICS WITH INFORMATION ONINTERNATIONAL MIGRATION IN MEXICO Population censuses 1990 and 2000 - On microdata - Record of population born abroad and flows for last 5 years, not including nationality. .

  5. BASIC PROBLEMS: • In terms of international migration, the surveys are more geared towards gathering statistical information on totals, origin, and nature of Mexican emigration, and on remittances and how they are used. • Lack of systematized and disaggregated statistics on immigrants. • Absence of databases of individual records in most of immigration processes.

  6. BASIC PROBLEMS: Lack of differentiated information in National Censuses and Surveys on people born abroad but holding Mexican nationality. Complexity of current migration laws and poor management practices that adversely affect the accuracy and quality of statistics. Non-homologation of statistics with concepts and series most often used by international organizations. Lack of information to handle a great deal of requests from international organizations for immigration statistics: OECD and ILO.

  7. Work strategy Transformation of record types and forms and reconstruction of statistics from previous years where possible Moving from data collection to generating statistics from databases with individual electronic records 3.- Creating the organizational structure and the necessary physical, technological, and human infrastructure. 4.- Transform the dissemination of migration statistics 2. Redesigning the data collection processes and systems to get computerized individual records. 1.- Reformulating concepts used in migration statistics. - Clear, explicit, and in accordance with national and international requirements.

  10. Recommendations to advance the SICREMI project • Consolidate a technical group for timely follow up on statistics on international migration generated by the member countries of the OAS, to guide national correspondents. • Create accurate methodological and conceptual frames of reference for preparing statistics in accordance with the dynamics of the international movement of people in the region, particularly on international migration. • Promote the use and development of administrative records on international migration, through consultation mechanisms that exist in the region on the subject matter.

  11. Recommendations to advance the SICREMI project Promote the development of electronic systems for administrative records of individuals, so databases can be created with detailed, reliable information on the international movement of people in the region. Encourage complementarity among neighboring countries in information from migration records, especially on entry-exit flows. Increase training and exchanges of experience in order to expand, improve and standardize the generation and dissemination of statistics on international migration in a timely and reliable manner.
