Measuring Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity on the American Community Survey (United States Census Bureau)

This presentation will outline research underway at the United States Census Bureau to test sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) questions on the American Community Survey (ACS). Not having population-level data from a census is one of the major challenges in studying the characteristics of the LGBTQIA+ population. The ACS is the largest demographic survey conducted by the United States government, sampling 3.5 million housing units and group quarters each year, thus allowing for information for small populations.

Measuring Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity on the American Community Survey

Note by the United States Census Bureau*

Abstract

This presentation will outline research underway at the United States Census Bureau

to test sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) questions on the American

Community Survey (ACS). Not having population-level data from a census is one of

the major challenges in studying the characteristics of the LGBTQIA+ population.

The ACS is the largest demographic survey conducted by the United States

government, sampling 3.5 million housing units and group quarters each year, thus

allowing for information for small populations. The current research will consist of

both cognitive and field testing. Cognitive testing will include testing of questions in

English and translation and testing of questions in Spanish. Field testing will include

self-response using both paper and internet modes and examine question wording,

response options and placement. One important area of research this testing will

illuminate is the quality of proxy reporting of SOGI information in demographic

surveys.

I. Introduction

1. The American Community Survey (ACS) is the largest demographic survey administered by the

United States government. Currently, the ACS does not collect data about sexual orientation or

gender identity. Recently, the United States Census Bureau has been charged with researching the

addition of these topics to the ACS. This is a unique and important challenge, and one which we

undertake carefully and with great excitement.

II. Background

A. State of Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (SOGI) Data Collection at

the United States Census Bureau

2. The Census Bureau has made significant progress in recent years toward preparing to include

content about sexual orientation and gender identity on our surveys. This includes engaging with

LGBTQI+ stakeholders and our peers at national statistical offices in other countries. We have

recently conducted knowledge sharing sessions with Statistics Canada, which included a question

about gender identity on the 2021 Canadian Census. We hope to conduct similar sessions in the

future with other countries who have or who are researching the possibility of including SOGI and

intersex questions on their censuses or large national surveys.

3. The Census Bureau conducts quarterly meetings with SOGI advocacy and expert groups to share our

progress on collecting SOGI data and to get feedback about our plans. These meetings help to

ensure we are staying up-to-date on current trends and gaining buy-in from these communities about

our research.

4. Staff from the Census Bureau participate in the Federal Committee on Statistical Methodology SOGI

Working Group. This is an interagency group consisting of SOGI experts and interested parties

from across the United States federal government. The group facilitates sharing expertise,

conducting research, and discussing emerging issues related to collecting and publishing SOGI data.

5. Same-sex relationship categories have been added to the American Community Survey, the Current

Population Survey, and the Survey of Income and Program Participation and were collected on the

2020 United States Census.

6. In July 2021, SOGI questions were added to the Household Pulse Survey, a survey that was created

to measure the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on different populations. This has provided

valuable data for SOGI populations and also yielded important lessons learned on the

implementation of this content.

B. About the American Community Survey

7. Prior to the 2010 United States Census, the United States used a two-prong approach for data

collection. While most households received a short questionnaire featuring only questions about the

basic demographics of each person living there and home ownership information (the “short form”),

a subset of the population—around 1 in 6—received a much longer questionnaire (“the long form”).

The Census long form asked more detailed questions each person, including questions about marital

status, educational attainment, nativity, migration, disabilities, occupational status, and income. It

also asked more detailed questions about the housing unit, such as when it was built, how many

rooms it has, and the cost of utilities. This information was used to inform legislators and

communities about the needs and characteristics of different communities and provided valuable

Working paper 13

planning data for state and local governments, residents, and businesses, especially in rural areas that

do not otherwise have access to such data through other means.

8. Over time, federal, state, and local governments, as well as many in the private sector, determined it

would be beneficial to have updated long-form data on a more frequent basis than every 10 years.

While many ideas were considered, following the 1990 Census, the Census Bureau began to develop

a new approach for collecting the more detailed long-form data. The new design consisted of

continuous monthly panels that would allow for data to be reported annually for larger geographic

areas, and aggregated over longer periods to provide data for smaller geographic areas or sparser

population groups.

9. In 2005, following the 2000 Census and after more than a decade of testing, this new effort became

the American Community Survey. The ACS replaced the Census long form; the 2010 Census was

the first Census in many years not to feature a long-form questionnaire. The ACS asked many of the

same questions as the Census long-form, but provided data down to the county level every year for

many topics, and also produced 3- and 5-year data products with increasingly more geographic and

population detail. The 3-year data products have since been discontinued, but 1-year and 5-year data

products are still produced annually.

10. Today, the ACS is the largest demographic survey administered by the federal government. It has an

annual sample of approximately 3.5 million households, divided into 12 monthly panels. The survey

is conducted via internet questionnaire, paper questionnaire, and in-person interviews. There are

special enumeration operations for group quarters, remote Alaska, and tribal lands.

11. Data from the ACS are used to distribute more than $675 billion in federal funds annually. State and

local governments, communities, and businesses also use ACS data to plan and distribute funds. For

many small communities, the ACS is the only detailed socioeconomic data source available. The

ACS is considered an extension of the U.S. Decennial Census and remains a part of the Decennial

program of operations.

C. The American Community Survey Change Process

12. There is also a very deliberate process for adding or changing content to the survey. The process

begins with a request from a federal agency proposing new or changed content. Included in the

request are the need for the data, the specific geographies for which the data are needed, other

sources available for the data, and how frequently new data are needed.

13. Participation in the ACS is required by law, and as such, any content on the survey must have a

statutory or regulatory justification. The data must also be unavailable from any other data source at

the required levels of geographic and accuracy. The data must also be expected to change over time,

necessitating the annual collection of the data.

14. Once a request for new or changed content is received, the Census Bureau, along with the Office of

Management and Budget (OMB), will evaluate the request. If the request is deemed to meet the

required criteria, it will move on the testing phase.

15. In the testing phase, all new or changed content goes through a lengthy process of qualitative and

quantitative testing. Content will be cognitively tested in both English and Spanish. A large field

test will be conducted for substantive changes to evaluate question performance and the effect on

other questions and distributions.

16. Once testing results are available, they are reviewed by both the Census Bureau and the requesting

federal agency. If the results are determined to be the best approach, public comment for the change

will be solicited. A final decision taking into account all the available information is made by the

Subcommittee on the ACS. If approved, the Census Bureau will begin the process to implement the

change. For large changes or new content, this can be a lengthy process.

III. Testing of Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Content on the American Community Survey

A. Request to Add SOGI Content to the ACS

17. At the end of 2022, the Census Bureau received a request from the Department of Justice (DOJ) to

add SOGI content to the ACS. The request included citations of several statutes to justify the

collection, including a need for data to properly enforce discrimination laws. In June 2020, the

United States Supreme Court ruled in Bostock vs Clayton County that Title VII of the Civil Rights

Act of 1964 protects employees against discrimination because of sexual orientation or gender

identity. This decision has been more broadly interpreted to also extend discrimination protections

in other environments in which discrimination on the basis of sex is protected, including fair housing

and education.

18. The Census Bureau and the Department of Commerce, of which the Census Bureau is a part,

reviewed the request and determined that it met the strict requirements for adding content to the

ACS. The Census Bureau then reached out to DOJ to determine their specific data and geographical

needs. DOJ is still determining their exact needs.

19. Information required from DOJ include:

1. Level of reporting for sexual orientation (i.e., what specific categories need to be included

on data products for sexual minorities);

2. Level of reporting for gender identity (i.e., what specific categories need to be included on

data products for gender minorities);

3. Level of geographic detail needed for data products;

4. Level of accuracy needed for estimates;

5. Specific concepts to be measured (e.g., gender identity versus gender expression, intersex

status); and

6. To what degree gender can replace sex information.

B. Early SOGI Testing Plans

20. While we await detailed requirements from DOJ, the Census Bureau has begun the process of

planning testing to the extent possible. Cognitive testing will help inform a subsequent field test,

including refining question wording, question placement, and translation issues, along with other

methodological concerns.

1. Cognitive Testing

1. Cognitive testing is scheduled to begin sometime in 2023. Testing will be conducted in both

English and Spanish.

2. Goals of cognitive testing may include:

Working paper 13

5

i. Evaluation of Spanish translations, especially for terms that do not easily translate

into Spanish (e.g., “straight);

ii. Evaluation of the ability for one respondent to answer these questions for other

members of their household (i.e., proxy reporting);

iii. Mode differences between asking these questions via self-response modes versus

personal interview; and

iv. Comprehension of non-gendered relationship categories (e.g., “Child” versus “Son

or daughter”), and in particular, categories that are not commonly used (e.g., “Child-

in-law” or “Parent-in-law”) or are higher register (e.g., “Sibling” instead of “Brother

or sister”).

2. Field Testing

3. Following the completion of cognitive testing, focus will shift to implementing a field test of

the new content in 2024. Field testing would likely include two treatments to allow testing

different versions of each question. A control treatment may also be needed to evaluate the

effect of the new questions on the sex question. Sample sizes for each treatment will likely

need to be quite large (greater than 100,000) and possibly include some degree of

oversampling or stratification (e.g., urban and rural) to guarantee better inclusion of the test

populations.

4. Test modes will include self-response and possibly personal interviews, depending on the

allocation of test funding in fiscal year 2024. Most surveys that include SOGI content in the

United States are conducted via personal interview, in which a trained interviewer asks

questions to a respondent in person or over the phone. Most responses on the ACS come via

self-response and via proxy interview, wherein one respondent answers questions about

everyone in the household. Evaluation of these two types of collection will be a key test

priority.

5. A reinterview of respondents, possibly subsampled, is also planned to help evaluate response

quality. Reinterview may involve interviewing each member of a household individually

instead of using a proxy technique to assess the impact of proxy interviewing on survey

estimates and distributions.

6. Goals of field testing may include:

i. Evaluation of self-response modes versus personal interview modes;

ii. Evaluation of proxy interviews via reinterviews of respondents;

iii. Evaluation of write-in responses for “I use a different term” responses;

iv. Evaluation of different question designs;

v. Evaluation of the impact of including a gender question on the sex distribution;

vi. Evaluation of the item missing data rates;

vii. Evaluation of survey break off rates.

3. Areas of Concern for SOGI Content

7. There are several areas of concern when it comes to creating a test of SOGI content on a

survey like the ACS. Chief among them is the ability of the survey to capture sex

information in a manner that is consistent with how it is collected without the addition of a

gender identity question. Because the ACS uses 2020 Census sex data to control survey

weights, any change in distribution for the sex question relative to the 2020 Census would

create problems with weighting the survey properly. Ideally, the ACS and census questions

for basic demographic questions that serve as survey controls would be identical. However,

because the next census does not occur until 2030 in the United States, this means until that

point, we need to limit the amount of change to the sex question to the extent possible.

8. Another concern for administering SOGI questions involves the ability of proxy respondents

to properly respond for the other members of their households. Due to the sensitivity of

SOGI content, respondents may not always be aware of how other household members

identify when it comes to sexual orientation and gender identity. Indeed, it may be unsafe

for some individuals to share this kind of information with others in their households. It is

incumbent upon us to prioritize the confidentiality and safety of our respondents at all times.

9. The fast evolution of terminology and concepts for SOGI minority populations can be

problematic for a survey like the ACS, in which implementation of tested content can take

up to three years, and up to seven years from the commencement of test design. There is a

risk that by the time the content is implemented, it may no longer be able to effectively

measure the populations for which we need to produce estimates. In the past, we have

experienced similar challenges for content about computer usage and internet access.

10. If data about the intersex population is required, this will require extensive testing and will

likely take much longer than other content to test and provide estimates. There is very little

existing literature about measuring intersex populations in the United States. We know that

other nations are working on this same issue, and we hope to work together to share

knowledge and expertise on this topic as research progresses around the world.

11. It is unclear for purposes of discrimination if we should be measuring gender identity or

gender expression, and if we need data on gender expression, to what extent this would be

possible. We are unaware of any large demographic surveys that collect data about gender

expression or have investigated collecting them.

12. Similarly, we are also unsure if we should be collecting data on sexual orientation or sexual

behaviour/expression. Again, we are unaware of any large demographic surveys that collect

data about sexual behaviour/expression or have investigated collecting them.

C. Conclusion

13. While we are excited to begin the process to collect these important data about SOGI

populations and to better represent the diversity of the American people in our foremost

demographic survey, we are also focused on making sure we collect the data as accurately as

possible and in a way that maintains the integrity of the ACS as a descriptor of the people

and communities of the United States. We are encouraged by the successes of our peer

nations who have successfully measured these populations in their national surveys and

censuses, and we hope to collaborate and build upon the wealth of research that exists in the

international community and within the United States. We hope to have results to share in

the near future as we embark upon this important work.

Измерение показателей пола и гендера

Измерение показателей сексуальной ориентации и гендерной идентичности в рамках Обследования американского общества

Записка Бюро переписи населения США*

Резюме

В настоящей презентации будет представлен краткий обзор исследований,

проводимых Бюро переписи населения США для тестирования вопросов,

касающихся сексуальной ориентации и гендерной идентичности (СОГИ), в

рамках Обследования американского общества (ОАО). Отсутствие данных

популяционного уровня, полученных по итогам переписи населения, является

одной из основных проблем при изучении характеристик сообщества

ЛГБТКИА+. ОАО является крупнейшим демографическим исследованием,

проводимым правительством Соединенных Штатов, ежегодная выборка

которого охватывает 3,5 миллиона жилищных единиц и мест коллективного

проживания, что позволяет получать информацию о небольших группах

населения. Текущее исследование предусматривает проведение как

когнитивного, так и практического тестирования. Когнитивное тестирование

будет включать тестирование вопросов на английском языке, а также перевод и

тестирование вопросов на испанском языке. Практическое тестирование будет

включать в себя самостоятельное представление ответов респондентами с

использованием бумажных опросных листов и через Интернет, а также

изучение формулировок вопросов, возможных ответов и порядка очередности

вопросов. Одной из важных областей исследований, на которую планируется

обратить внимание в ходе этого тестирования, является качество

предоставления информации, касающейся СОГИ, через доверенных лиц в

рамках демографических обследований.

I. Введение

1. Обследование американского общества (ОАО) является крупнейшим демографическим

обследованием, проводимым правительством Соединенных Штатов. В настоящее время ОАО

не предусматривает сбора данных о сексуальной ориентации или гендерной идентичности.

Некоторое время назад Бюро переписи населения США было поручено изучить вопрос о

добавлении этих тем в ОАО. Это уникальная и важная задача, и мы беремся за ее решение

обстоятельно и с большим энтузиазмом.

II. Контекст

A. Состояние дел в области сбора данных о сексуальной ориентации и

гендерной идентичности (СОГИ) в Бюро переписи населения США

2. За последние годы Бюро переписи населения достигло значительного прогресса в подготовке

к включению информации о сексуальной ориентации и гендерной идентичности в наши

обследования. Это включает в себя взаимодействие с заинтересованными сторонами

сообщества ЛГБТКИ+ и нашими коллегами из национальных статистических управлений в

других странах. Недавно мы провели сессии по обмену знаниями со Статистическим

управлением Канады, которое включило вопрос о гендерной идентичности в перепись

населения Канады 2021 года. Мы надеемся провести аналогичные сессии в будущем с

участием других стран, которые изучают возможность включения вопросов о СОГИ и

интерсексуальности в свои переписи населения или крупные национальные обследования.

3. Бюро переписи населения проводит ежеквартальные встречи с правозащитными и

экспертными группами по СОГИ, чтобы рассказать о нашем прогрессе в сборе данных о

СОГИ и узнать их мнение о наших планах. Эти встречи помогают нам быть в курсе текущих

тенденций и получать поддержку от этих сообществ в отношении наших исследований.

4. Сотрудники Бюро переписи населения участвуют в рабочей группе по СОГИ Федерального

комитета по статистической методологии. Это межведомственная группа, состоящая из

экспертов в области СОГИ и заинтересованных сторон из федерального правительства США.

Группа содействует обмену опытом, проведению исследований и обсуждению возникающих

вопросов, связанных со сбором и публикацией данных, касающихся СОГИ.

5. Категории, касающиеся однополых отношений, были добавлены в Обследование

американского сообщества, Текущее обследование населения и Обследование доходов и

участия в программах, и сбор соответствующих данных был проведен в ходе переписи

населения США 2020 года.

Рабочий документ 13

6. В июле 2021 года вопросы, касающиеся СОГИ, были добавлены в Оперативное обследование

домашних хозяйств, которое было разработано для измерения воздействия пандемии COVID-

19 на различные группы населения. Оно позволило получить ценные данные о группах

населения с различным статусом СОГИ, а также извлечь важные уроки в ходе по итогам

реализации программы этого обследования.

B. Сведения об Обследовании американского общества

7. До проведения переписи населения США 2010 года в Соединенных Штатах использовался

двухступенчатый подход к сбору данных. В то время как большинство домохозяйств

получали короткую анкету, содержащую только вопросы, касающиеся основных

демографических данных каждого проживающего в нем человека и информации о

собственниках жилья («краткая форма»), одна подгруппа населения — примерно 1 из 6

домохозяйств — получила гораздо более объемную анкету («развернутая форма»). В

развернутой форме переписного листа каждому человеку предлагалось ответить на более

подробные вопросы, включая вопросы о семейном положении, уровне образования,

происхождении, миграции, инвалидности, профессиональном статусе и доходе. В ней также

задавались более подробные вопросы о жилищной единице, например, когда она была

построена, сколько в ней комнат и сколько составляет стоимость коммунальных услуг. Эта

информация использовалась для информирования законодательных органов и сообществ о

потребностях и характеристиках различных сообществ и позволяла правительствам штатов и

местным органам власти, жителям и бизнесу получить ценные данные для целей

планирования, особенно в сельских районах, где нет возможности получить доступ к таким

данным другими способами.

8. С течением времени федеральное правительство, правительства штатов и местные органы

власти, а также многие представители частного сектора пришли к выводу, что было бы

полезно получать актуализированные данные по полному варианту опросного листа чаще,

чем каждые 10 лет. Рассмотрев множество идей, после переписи 1990 года Бюро переписи

населения приступило к разработке нового подхода для сбора более подробных данных с

помощью развернутых переписных листов. Новая схема состояла из непрерывных

ежемесячных панелей, которые позволяли ежегодно представлять данные для более

обширных географических зон и агрегировать их за более длительные периоды, чтобы

обеспечить получение данных для менее крупных географических зон или малочисленных

групп населения.

9. В 2005 году, после проведения переписи населения 2000 года и более чем десятилетнего

тестирования, итогом этой новой инициативы стало Обследование американского общества.

ОАО заменило развернутый переписной лист; перепись 2010 года была первой переписью за

многие годы, в которой не использовалась развернутая форма опросной анкеты. В рамках

ОАО задавались многие из вопросов, которые содержались в развернутом переписном листе,

но при этом оно позволяло ежегодно получать данные по многим темам вплоть до уровня

округов, а также производить статистические продукты за период 3 и 5 лет со все большей

степенью детализации географических и демографических данных. С тех пор выпуск

статистических продуктов с данными за 3 года был прекращен, но статистические продукты с

данными за 1 год и 5 лет по-прежнему выпускаются ежегодно.

10. На сегодняшний день ОАО является крупнейшим демографическим обследованием,

проводимым федеральным правительством. Годовая выборка составляет примерно 3,5

миллиона домохозяйств, разделенных на 12 месячных панелей. Обследование проводится с

помощью интернет-анкеты, бумажной анкеты и очных интервью. Существуют специальные

Рабочий документ 13

регистрационные операции для мест коллективного проживания, удаленных районов Аляски

и племенных земель.

11. Данные ОАО используются для ежегодного распределения более 675 миллиардов долларов из

федеральных фондов. Правительства штатов и местные органы власти, сообщества и

коммерческие организации также используют данные ОАО для планирования и

распределения средств. Для многих небольших сообществ ОАО является единственным

доступным источником подробных социально-экономических данных. ОАО считается

дополнением к десятилетней переписи населения США и по-прежнему является частью

Десятилетней программы операционной деятельности.

C. Процесс изменения Обследования американского общества

12. Существует также тщательно продуманная процедура для внесения дополнений или

изменений в содержание обследования. Процесс начинается с запроса от федерального

агентства с предложением дополнить или изменить содержание. В запросе указывается

потребность в определенных данных; конкретные географические регионы, по которым

необходимы данные; другие доступные источники данных; и с какой периодичностью

необходимо получать новые данные.

13. Участие в ОАО является обязательным в соответствии с законодательством, и поэтому любой

элемент информационного содержания обследования должен иметь законодательное или

нормативное обоснование. Кроме того, обязательным условием является невозможность

получения данных из любого другого источника данных с требуемыми уровнями

географического охвата и точности. Следует также ожидать, что данные будут меняться с

течением времени, что обусловливает необходимость ежегодного сбора данных.

14. После получения запроса о дополнении или изменении содержания Бюро переписи населения

вместе с Административно-бюджетным управлением (АБУ) проводит его оценку. Если будет

сочтено, что запрос соответствует требуемым критериям, он перейдет на этап тестирования.

15. На этапе тестирования все новые или измененные вопросы проходят длительный процесс

качественного и количественного тестирования. Проводится когнитивное тестирование

вопросов на английском и испанском языках. Для существенных изменений проводится

масштабное практическое тестирование, чтобы оценить эффективность вопроса и его влияние

на другие вопросы и распределения.

16. После получения результатов тестирования они рассматриваются как Бюро переписи

населения, так и федеральным агентством, инициировавшим запрос. Если результаты

покажут, что этот подход является оптимальным, общественности будет предложено

представить свои замечания по этому изменению. Окончательное решение с учетом всей

имеющейся информации принимает Бюро переписи населения по согласованию с АБУ и

Подкомитетом по ОАО Межведомственного совета по статистической политике. В случае

одобрения Бюро переписи населения начнет процесс внесения изменений. В случае

значительных изменений или добавления новых вопросов этот процесс может занять

длительное время.

III. Тестирование вопросов, касающихся сексуальной ориентации и гендерной идентичности, в рамках Обследования американского общества

A. Запрос на добавление вопросов, касающихся СОГИ, в ОАО

17. В конце 2022 года Бюро переписи населения получило от Министерства юстиции (Минюст)

запрос на включение в ОАО дополнительных вопросов, касающихся СОГИ. Запрос включал

выдержки из нескольких законодательных актов для обоснования сбора такой информации, в

том числе отмечалась необходимость получения данных для обеспечения надлежащего

исполнения законов о дискриминации. В июне 2020 года Верховный суд США постановил в

деле Босток против округа Клейтон, что Раздел VII Закона о гражданских правах 1964 года

защищает наемных работников от дискриминации по причине их сексуальной ориентации

или гендерной идентичности. Это решение было истолковано более широко, чтобы также

распространить защиту от дискриминации на другие сферы, в которых обеспечивается защита

от дискриминации по признаку пола, включая запрещении дискриминации в сфере жилья и

образования.

18. Бюро переписи населения и Министерство торговли, подразделением которого является Бюро

переписи населения, рассмотрели запрос и установили, что он соответствует строгим

требованиям для включения дополнительных вопросов в ОАО. Затем Бюро переписи

населения связалось с Министерством юстиции, чтобы определить необходимые им

конкретные данные и географический охват. Министерство юстиции все еще определяет свои

точные потребности.

19. Информация, которую необходимо получить от Министерства юстиции, включает в себя:

1. Уровень предоставления данных по сексуальной ориентации (то есть, какие

конкретные категории необходимо включить в информационные продукты в

отношении сексуальных меньшинств);

2. Уровень предоставления данных по гендерной идентичности (то есть, какие

конкретные категории необходимо включить в информационные продукты в

отношении гендерных меньшинств);

3. Уровень географической детализации, необходимый для информационных продуктов;

4. Уровень точности, необходимый для расчета оценочных показателей;

5. Конкретные концепты, которые планируется измерять (например, гендерная

идентичность в сравнении с гендерным самовыражением, интерсексуальный статус);

и

6. В какой степени гендерные данные могут заменить информацию, связанную с полом.

B. Первоначальные планы тестирования вопросов по теме СОГИ

20. Пока мы ожидаем получения от Минюста подробных требований, Бюро переписи населения

приступило к процессу планирования тестирования, насколько это возможно. Результаты

когнитивного тестирования будут учитываться при планировании последующего

практического тестирования, включая уточнение формулировок вопросов, порядка

очередности вопросов и решение проблем, связанных с переводом, а также другие

методологические аспекты.

Рабочий документ 13

1. Когнитивное тестирование

1. Когнитивное тестирование планируется начать в 2023 году. Тестирование будет

проводиться на английском и испанском языках.

2. Цели когнитивного тестирования могут включать:

i. Оценку перевода на испанский язык, в особенности терминов, которые

нелегко перевести на испанский язык (например, «straight» (гетеросексуал));

ii. Оценку способности одного респондента ответить на эти вопросы за других

членов своего домохозяйства (т. е. предоставления данных через доверенное

лицо);

iii. Различия в ответах на вопросы при самостоятельном предоставлении ответов

респондентами и при проведении очных интервью; и

iv. Понимание категорий отношений без гендерной принадлежности (например,

«Ребенок» вместо «Сын или дочь») и, в частности, редко используемых

(например, «Супруги детей» или «Родитель супруга(и)») или более

формальных категорий (например, «Sibling» (родной брат/сестра) вместо

«Брат или сестра»).

2. Практическое тестирование

3. После завершения когнитивного тестирования основное внимание сместится на

проведение практического тестирования новых вопросов в 2024 году. Практическое

тестирование, скорее всего, будет включать в себя два варианта обследования,

позволяющих протестировать разные версии каждого вопроса. Также может

потребоваться контрольный вариант для оценки влияния новых вопросов на вопрос о

поле. Выборка для каждого варианта, по всей видимости, должна быть достаточно

большой по размеру (более 100 000) и, возможно, в некоторой степени избыточной

или стратифицированной (например, городское и сельское население), чтобы

гарантировать более полное включение исследуемых групп населения.

4. Режимы тестирования будут включать самостоятельное предоставление ответов и,

возможно, очные интервью, в зависимости от выделения финансирования для целей

тестирования в 2024 финансовом году. Большинство обследований в США,

включающих вопросы о СОГИ, проводятся по методу очного интервью, в ходе

которого специально обученный интервьюер задает вопросы респонденту при личной

встрече или по телефону. Большинство ответов в рамках ОАО поступает через

систему самостоятельного представления ответов респондентов и интервью с

получением ответов через доверенных лиц, когда один респондент отвечает на

вопросы обо всех членах домохозяйства. Оценка этих двух типов сбора данных будет

ключевой приоритетной задачей в ходе тестирования.

5. Кроме того, планируется провести повторные интервью с респондентами, возможно, в

рамках подвыборки, чтобы оценить качество ответов. Повторное интервью может

включать опрос каждого члена домохозяйства в отдельности вместо использования

метода записи ответов с чужих слов для оценки влияния интервью через доверенных

лиц на оценки и распределение результатов обследования.

6. Целью практического тестирования могут быть:

Рабочий документ 13

7

i. Оценка методов опроса, предполагающих самостоятельное представление

ответов респондентами, в сравнении с методами очных интервью;

ii. Оценка интервью с получением ответов через доверенных лиц с помощью

повторных интервью с респондентами;

iii. Оценка самостоятельно вписанных ответов при выборе ответа «Я использую

другой термин»;

iv. Оценка различных вариантов построения вопросов;

v. Оценка влияния включения вопроса о гендере на распределение полов;

vi. Оценка процентной доли пропущенных данных по отдельным пунктам;

vii. Оценка процентной доли прерванных опросов.

3. Проблемные аспекты, связанные с вопросами о СОГИ

7. Существует несколько проблемных аспектов, когда речь заходит о тестировании

вопросов, касающихся СОГИ, в рамках такого обследования, как ОАО. Главным из

них является способность обследования собирать информацию о поле таким образом,

чтобы это соответствовало способу сбора этой информации без добавления вопроса о

гендерной идентичности. Поскольку ОАО использует данные о поле из переписи 2020

года для контроля весовых коэффициентов обследования, любое изменение в

распределении ответов на вопрос о поле по сравнению с переписью 2020 года создаст

проблемы с правильным взвешиванием данных обследования. Было бы идеально, если

бы вопросы ОАО и переписи для основных демографических вопросов, которые

служат в качестве контрольных показателей обследования, были идентичными.

Однако, поскольку следующая перепись населения в Соединенных Штатах состоится

не раньше 2030 года, это означает, что до тех пор нам необходимо ограничить объем

изменений в вопросе о поле, насколько это возможно.

8. Еще один проблемный аспект, касающийся получения ответов на вопросы по СОГИ,

связан со способностью доверенных лиц правильно отвечать на вопросы за других

членов своих домохозяйств. Ввиду деликатности темы СОГИ респонденты не всегда

могут знать, как идентифицируют себя другие члены домохозяйства, когда это

касается их сексуальной ориентации и гендерной идентичности. Безусловно, для

некоторых людей может быть небезопасно делиться такой информацией с другими

членами своей семьи. Мы обязаны всегда уделять приоритетное внимание

конфиденциальности и безопасности наших респондентов.

9. Стремительная эволюция терминологии и понятий, касающихся СОГИ-меньшинств,

может создать проблемы для такого обследования, как ОАО, где включение

протестированных вопросов может занять до трех лет, а с начала разработки проекта

тестирования может пройти до семи лет. Существует риск того, что к тому времени,

когда эти вопросы будут включены, они уже не смогут эффективно измерять группы

населения, для которых нам необходимо рассчитать оценочные показатели. В

прошлом мы сталкивались с аналогичными проблемами в случае вопросов,

касающихся использовании компьютеров и доступе к Интернету.

10. В случае необходимости получения данных о популяции интерсексуальных людей

потребуется провести масштабное тестирование, и, по всей вероятности, для

тестирования и расчета оценочных показателей потребуется гораздо больше времени,

чем для других вопросов. В США имеется очень мало литературы по измерению

Рабочий документ 13

8

популяций интерсексуальных людей. Мы знаем, что другие страны занимаются

решением этой же проблемы, и надеемся, что мы сможем работать сообща, чтобы

делиться знаниями и опытом по этой теме по мере развития исследований во всем

мире.

11. В контексте дискриминации неясно, следует ли нам измерять гендерную

идентичность или гендерное самовыражение, и если нам нужны данные о гендерном

самовыражении, то в какой степени их возможно получить. Нам неизвестно о каких-

либо крупных демографических обследованиях, в ходе которых собирались бы

данные о гендерном самовыражении, или прорабатывалась бы возможность сбора

таких данных.

12. Точно так же мы не уверены, следует ли нам собирать данные о сексуальной

ориентации или сексуальном поведении/самовыражении. Аналогично

вышесказанному, нам неизвестно о каких-либо крупных демографических

обследованиях, в ходе которых собирались бы данные о сексуальном

поведении/самовыражении, или прорабатывалась бы возможность сбора таких

данных.

C. Заключение

13. Несмотря на то, что мы очень рады начать процесс сбора этих важных данных о

группах населения с различным статусом СОГИ, который позволит более точно

отразить многообразие американского народа в нашем главном демографическом

обследовании, мы также сосредоточены на том, чтобы обеспечить сбор данных с

максимальной точностью и таким способом, который поддерживал бы целостность

ОАО как дескриптора населения и сообществ Соединенных Штатов. Нас

воодушевляют успехи других стран, которые успешно провели количественную

оценку этих групп населения в рамках своих национальных обследований и

переписей, и мы надеемся, что мы сможем вести совместную работу, опираясь на

богатый исследовательский материал, которым располагают международное

сообщество и США. Приступая к этой важной работе, мы надеемся, что сможем

поделиться результатами уже в ближайшем будущем.

• Weight effect o CPI: relative weights based primarily on household surveys o PCE PI: relative weights based primarily on business surveys

o higher weights to health care and financial services o lower weights to housing and transportation

• Other effects • Seasonal adjustment, price differences, all other differences 14

Moving from the PCE price index to CPI: Recent history (percentage points from each effect)

Positive numbers indicate that CPI is higher than the PCE PI due to the effect. Weight effect frequently results from higher weight for housing in the CPI. Scope effect (in PCE not in CPI) frequently results from additional weight for health care services in PCE PI.

Evaluating Coverage of the US Census Bureau’s Integrated Database for International Migration (IDIM)

Note by U.S. Census Bureau* Abstract In recent years the US Census Bureau’s International Migration Branch has explored using administrative data to improve foreign-born international migration flow estimates, resulting in a linked database called the Integrated Database for International Migration (IDIM). A limitation of the IDIM is that it is restricted to persons covered by Federal administrative record data sets acquired by the Census Bureau resulting in coverage gaps for the foreign born. We assume the IDIM underestimates, or misses, specific groups of foreign born not covered by the linked data sources including working migrants who did not file tax returns, non-working dependents not claimed as exemptions on tax returns, international students, exchange visitors, and unauthorized migrants. The American Community Survey (ACS) is a large annual household survey conducted by the US Census Bureau that, in theory, should cover these populations missing from the IDIM. To examine IDIM coverage limitations, we match individual records from the ACS to the IDIM. This paper presents results of exploratory research to assess IDIM coverage and evaluates the magnitude and characteristics of ACS survey respondents who are not included in the IDIM, as opposed to those who are present in the IDIM. Further, this research serves to assess data quality of both the ACS and IDIM, as we can compare results between linked individuals and households within each data source. These findings provide us with information on the potential for using the ACS to help adjust for IDIM coverage limitations.

I. Introduction

1. The International Migration Branch at the US Census Bureau produces annual estimates of foreign-born

immigration flows to the United States with demographic detail (age, sex, race, and Hispanic origin) at national, state, and county-level geographies. These estimates are created using the American Community Survey (ACS) as a primary data source, though survey estimates come with limitations such as increased variance, particularly at subnational geographies, and lagged measurement of migration events. To help overcome these limitations, the Census Bureau has been developing an alternative data source called the Integrated Database on International Migration (IDIM), which incorporates available administrative data from social security and tax records to estimate international migration.

2. One limitation of the IDIM is that it is restricted to persons covered by Federal administrative record datasets,

resulting in coverage gaps for the foreign born who are not included in these records. This means the IDIM likely underestimates, or misses, specific groups of foreign born, such as working migrants who did not file tax returns, non-working dependents not claimed as exemptions on tax returns, international students, exchange visitors, and most unauthorized migrants. The ACS is a large annual household survey conducted by the US Census Bureau that is representative of the entire resident population, and thus theoretically should cover these missing IDIM populations. While the ACS likely underrepresents some of these missing foreign-born groups as well, we can still examine IDIM coverage limitations by matching individual records from the ACS to the IDIM. This allows us to compare individuals who are included in both the ACS and the IDIM (“ACS match” or “ACS-IDIM match”) to those in the ACS but not in the IDIM (“ACS only,” or “ACS-IDIM non-match”). In addition to this comparison, for individuals both in the ACS and IDIM, we can evaluate data quality for a number of variables shared across both data sets, including age, sex, citizenship status, year of entry, and current geography. Finally, based on these findings, this paper discusses the potential of using the ACS to adjust IDIM results to improve its estimates.

II. IDIM overview

3. The IDIM is created by linking administrative data sources which can be used to generate foreign-born immigration estimates. While there are many administrative data sources which could potentially be used in the IDIM, such as those maintained by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), we are currently limited to data sources readily available at the Census Bureau, namely the Numident from the Social Security Administration (SSA) and tax filing information from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Data linking is done via matching of unique Personal Identification Keys (PIKs) which are assigned to individuals across data sets. PIKs are most easily created using directly matched encrypted Social Security Numbers (SSNs), but are also created by probabilistically matching name, sex, age, and address information.

A. Numident

4. The Numident is a micro-record dataset that combines SSA SSN records with Census Bureau death records. It includes data on demographic characteristics, place of birth, and citizenship status. It does not, however, include address data. SSNs can be easily anonymized using PIKs which allow for linking across datasets. Given that most documented immigrants to the United States apply for SSNs, the Numident was chosen to serve as IDIM’s spine for initial data integration and research.

5. Numident data are delivered on a quarterly basis and contain records for all persons who have ever received SSNs. In addition to native births, this includes applications for SSNs by the foreign born. Foreign-born individuals who are either authorized to work or have become naturalized citizens are eligible to receive SSNs. Using a combination of citizenship status, place of birth, and date of record creation, we can identify foreign- born migrants at the national level by demographic characteristics. Linking Numident data to other sources can give us additional information, such as place of residence, which would allow us to create sub-national

estimates of the foreign born. It also provides information about “signs of life,” which give us additional confidence as to whether the social security holder has moved to the United States for the requisite period of time to establish residency.

B. Internal Revenue Service Tax Filings

6. The IRS provides tax form 1040 filing data to the Census Bureau every four weeks. While these data do not

include demographic characteristics, they do include address information and PIKs for the primary filer, spouses and dependents. Where possible, address data are linked to a Master Address File ID (MAFID). IRS data do not include information on foreign-born status, which must come from linked Numident files. They also do not include information for individuals who do not file taxes (either through not having sufficient income or for failing to claim income). SSNs included on tax filing data make for the possibility of directly matching individuals to the Numident.

7. It is also possible to identify tax filings that use Individual Tax Identification Numbers (ITINs), unique

identifiers used by individuals without SSNs to file taxes. ITINs are only issued to non-US citizens; thus it is not necessary to link these individuals to the Numident to assign foreign-born status. While this universe is assumed to include migrants unauthorized to work, it also includes non-working dependents of authorized migrant workers. Changes to tax laws in 2017 caused drastic decreases in reported ITINs, as spouses and dependents are no longer eligible for ITINs unless they qualify for specific deductions or file their own separate return.1 This significantly reduces the usefulness of ITINs for identifying migrants after 2017. Further complicating use of ITINs is that individuals are periodically required to reapply for ITINs, and thus someone can have multiple ITINs over the course of a lifetime. In addition, ITINs holders can apply for SSNs later in life, and thus could have both an ITIN and SSN on file. As ITINs are not registered with the Social Security System, they cannot be directly matched to the Numident, though probabilistic methods could be used to match ITIN records to other data sets. The current version of IDIM does not include ITIN holders, but additional research is being conducted to see how they can possibly be incorporated into future analyses.

C. IDIM Creation

8. As noted earlier, the Numident acts as our spine for identifying foreign-born immigrants. It is used in the first

phase of processing whereby the foreign born are identified using citizenship variables from the Numident (this includes non-citizens authorized to work and naturalized citizens). We then use record creation year as a proxy for year of entry into the US. Lastly, we remove individuals who died the same year they migrated. This step results in an estimate of foreign-born immigrants by year with demographic characteristics, albeit a clear overestimation. We expect an overestimation at this point, as this universe includes SSN applicants who received SSNs, but who either only came to the United States for a short period of time or never actually migrated to the United States. The native-born population is retained in the file to have a comparison group to the foreign born. Race and Hispanic origin data are incomplete or missing from the Numident,2 so it is necessary to use alternative methods to assign race and Hispanic origin by modeling decennial Census 2010 and ACS files. These methods to assign race to the Numident have not been incorporated into this paper, which limits analysis for these variables.

9. In the second phase of processing, we match Numident records to IRS tax form 1040 filings to confirm entry

into the United States. The Numident contains all applications for SSNs, including individuals who received SSNs, but never actually migrated to the United States or only stayed for a short period of time. To remove this group from our estimates, we match IRS data to restrict the universe to authorized migrants who worked and filed taxes in the United States, as well as both working and non-working naturalized citizens. This step also

Surveys (ssa.gov)

assigns geocodes, giving us foreign-born immigrants with demographic characteristics at national, state, and county geographies. We expect an underestimation of the foreign-born non-citizen population at this point, as we are missing migrants who fail to file taxes, as well as authorized migrants who did not work.

10. At this stage the IDIM includes the following immigrant populations: naturalized citizens, non-citizens

authorized to work and who filed taxes, and their non-working dependents and spouses. Populations not included are: US citizens born abroad of American parents, unauthorized migrants, working migrants who did not file a tax return, and non-working dependents not claimed as an exemption. Given the ACS is designed to be representative of the entire US resident population, it should include information on many of the foreign- born groups currently missing on the IDIM.

D. ACS

11. This paper links 2019 ACS micro data to the IDIM to help evaluate IDIM’s coverage, as well as data quality of

both IDIM and the ACS. The ACS is a large annual continuous household survey of the US population that asks detailed information previously collected on the decennial census long form. Fully implemented in 2005, it currently surveys about 3.5 million addresses per year. Inclusion in the sample is based on having lived, or planning to live, for at least two months in the sampled address. The ACS asks detailed sociodemographic and economic questions, including immigration-pertinent variables such as country of birth, citizenship status, year of entry to the United States, and country of residence one year ago. While SSN information is not collected on the ACS, individuals on the ACS can be assigned PIKs using the Person Verification System (PVS), which assigns probability by matching name, sex, and address information.

12. Since the ACS includes all US residents in its sample universe, and does not distinguish by legal status, we feel

the ACS is a potentially good source of information on migrants missing from the IDIM. However, given the hard-to-count nature of recent and unauthorized migrants, it is likely the ACS underrepresents these populations to some degree (Jensen et al, 2015). While it is not our intent to evaluate ACS coverage in this paper, this issue should be kept in mind when interpreting some of our findings.

E. Person Identification Validation System (PVS)

13. The PVS is the Census Bureau’s process to identify and verify SSNs and PIKs for person records in surveys,

censuses, and administrative records. The Census Bureau attempts to assign PIKs to every administrative record via a probabilistic model known as the Person Verification Model (Wagner and Layne, 2014) that is composed of four modules. First, if the administrative data contain SSNs, the verification module checks for an exact SSN match to the Numident file and verifies that name and date of birth elements sufficiently agree. If they do agree, the SSN is considered verified and PVS assigns the corresponding PIK to the person record. If there is no SSN, such as in the case of the ACS, the PVS continues through three more probabilistic modules to attempt to assign an SSN to the administrative record using geography, name, and date of birth. Approximately 94% of all 2010 ACS records received a PIK, implying that only 6% of all records could not be linked to any administrative data.

14. Those not assigned PIKs can potentially introduce bias to linked data. A study of the 2009 and 2010 ACS concluded that PVS is less likely to validate young children, minorities, residents of group quarters, immigrants, recent movers, low-income individuals, and non-employed individuals (Bond, 2014). In addition to unassigned PIKs, there is the possibility of PIKs being erroneously assigned to individuals (also referred to as record linkage error), though the rate of these misassigned PIKs for the foreign born is not known (Abowd et al., 2020). This is one possible reason for mismatch between variables on the IDIM and ACS, when individuals are matched incorrectly.

F. Linking the ACS to IDIM

15. For this paper, we linked 2019 ACS data to the 2019 IDIM universe. Since the IDIM universe is defined by linked Numident and IRS records, which have undercoverage of older populations, we restricted our universe to those under 65 years of age to make the ACS universe more comparable. For our ACS universe, 14% are identified as foreign born. To define foreign born on the ACS, we use responses to the ACS citizenship question. Those born in the US and born abroad of American parents are defined as “native born,” while US citizens by naturalization and non-US citizens are defined as “foreign born.” The proportion of foreign born in the IDIM is 12.6%. The foreign born are defined similarly to the ACS using a citizenship variable, due to data quality concerns with the country of birth and foreign-born indicator variables on the Numident file. In the IDIM’s case, we use a variable that identifies “US citizens” and “legal aliens,” in combination with a variable that denotes if a person was ever naturalized. Neither the ACS nor IDIM definitions of the foreign born disaggregate this group by citizenship status, which is important to note due to data quality concerns for the naturalization variable on both the ACS (Van Hook and Bachmeirb, 2013) and Numident.

16. For the total ACS universe, 89% of the sample can be assigned an individual PIK, and thus matched to the

Numident or assigned an ITIN by the IRS. Among the foreign-born identified on the ACS, 79% of the sample can be assigned a PIK. When further linked to IRS/SSN data, these match rates drop, with 80% of the total ACS universe matched via PIK and 71% of the foreign-born sample. These drops in match rates are expected, since the IDIM is limited to tax filers with SSNs. The lower match rate for the foreign-born universe was expected based on previous research discussed earlier, thus contributing to foreign-born undercoverage in the IDIM.

17. Conversely, the non-match rate for the ACS foreign-born universe is 29%, which provides us with a key

comparison group. This universe consists of three distinct groups: those in the ACS for which a PIK is not able to be assigned, those with ITINs who file taxes, and those linkable to the Numident, but who did not file taxes or appear as exemptions on IRS tax returns. Future research will attempt to disaggregate the ACS not matched to IDIM universe, but it is assumed to include a large proportion of unauthorized migrants, as well as groups like international students and dependents not claimed as exemptions on tax returns, hence those assumed to be missing from the IDIM universe.

III. Comparison of IDIM and ACS Foreign-Born Universes

18. There are several different universes that can be compared to evaluate IDIM coverage. Figure 1 is a conceptual diagram of how the different universes are created, linking the Numident, IRS and ACS. The IDIM consists of Numident and IRS matches, and currently excludes those with ITIN records (light blue, outside the Numident and IDIM). The figure also denotes the important comparison groups used in this analysis: (1) total IDIM (purple), (2) the ACS-match or ACS-IDIM match group (shaded yellow), and (3) the ACS-only or ACS- IDIM non-match groups. The ACS-only group consists of three sub-groups: non-PIKable ACS files (light yellow), ACS respondents on the Numident but not on the IDIM (orange, e.g., non-tax filers), and ACS respondents on the IRS but not on the Numident (green, e.g., ITIN holders).

19. For comparison purposes, Table 1 shows detailed demographic and socioeconomic characteristics for each of these foreign-born universes. All these characteristics can be derived from the ACS, while a limited number of variables are also available on the IDIM, including sex, age, citizenship status, year of entry, and state of current residence. Thus, for the ACS-IDIM match group, some variables can be derived independently from both the ACS and IDIM, which will allow us to evaluate data quality in the following section.

(See Table 1 in appendix)

20. As expected, we found clear differences between the IDIM/ACS-IDIM matched and the ACS-only universes.

The ACS-only universe was more male, younger (under 25), less Asian, more Hispanic (Mexican and Central American), less educated, and more not in labor force and in poverty. There were few differences in terms of year of entry between the IDIM and the ACS-only group. Comparisons between ACS-only and ACS-matched universes showed more extreme differences between groups than total IDIM comparisons. Of particular interest were differences in terms of citizenship status and year of entry.

21. Sex and age distributions can be gleaned from both the IDIM and ACS for the various groups. The ACS-only universe was more male than both the IDIM and the ACS-IDIM-matched universes. The IDIM had a generally older age distribution (50 and older), while the ACS-only group skewed younger, including more college aged and children in its universe.

22. As discussed earlier, race and Hispanic origin are currently not measurable on the IDIM, so this comparison was limited to the ACS-only and ACS-matched groups. Clear differences were found, with far more Asians in the ACS-matched universe, and far more Hispanics in the ACS-only universe. Among Hispanics, far more were of Mexican or Central American descent in the ACS-only universe compared to the ACS-matched universe.

23. Socioeconomic variables are only available on the ACS and clear differences were seen between the ACS-only and ACS-matched universes. In terms of education, the ACS-only universe was far more likely to have less than a high school degree, while the ACS-matched universe was more likely to have at least a college degree. Relatedly, the ACS-matched group was more likely to be employed and not in poverty than the ACS-only group.

24. Some interesting findings were discovered looking at the year of entry and citizenship variables present on both the ACS and IDIM. Year of entry is defined on the IDIM as the year when an SSN was entered into the Numident, while the ACS asks respondents which year they came to live in the United States, so we would expect to see differences between datasets. This was not the case between the ACS-only and IDIM universes, as their year of entry distributions are quite similar. However, when comparing the ACS-only to ACS-matched universes, which use the same variable of measurement for year of entry, differences do appear. The ACS- only universe was more likely to have been recent migrants (since 2015) than the ACS-matched universe, who were more likely to have arrived before 1999. Given the similar year of entry distribution between the IDIM and ACS-only universes, there were some surprising differences between the ACS-IDIM matched IDIM-based year of entry distributions and the ACS-IDIM matched ACS-based year of entry distributions, which will be examined in greater detail in the following section.

25. Citizenship status also produces interesting results, which bring to question the quality of this variable on the

IDIM. The foreign born on the IDIM are far more likely to be non-citizens than the ACS-matched universe, which was an unexpected result. This suggests that IDIM records are not updated on a regular basis after an individual naturalizes or suggests that ACS reporting are of poor quality for this variable (or a combination of both reasons). More telling is the comparison between the ACS-only to ACS-matched universes, where large differences are found. The proportion of non-citizens is far higher for the ACS-only universe, while conversely the proportion of naturalized foreign born is far greater for the ACS-matched universe. This suggests that the ACS-only universe is more representative of persons ineligible for SSNs, including unauthorized migrants and dependents of legal migrants.

26. Specific citizenship status is not relevant from the perspective of how we use the IDIM to produce estimates of

the foreign born. It is not important if someone on the IDIM has accurate up-to-date naturalization status information, since what is important is whether they are foreign born or not. However, these findings could have important implications for other types of analysis using administrative data, and would likely require additional linkages to other data sources (e.g. from US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS)) to accurately measure citizenship status.

27. Finally, Figure 2 shows the difference in state of residence for those on the ACS-only and IDIM files.

Differences were relatively small, with the IDIM having a bit more representation in states like Florida and New York and the ACS-only universe having a bit more representation in Texas.

28. These findings suggest there is clear underrepresentation of specific foreign-born groups in the IDIM. Despite the ACS’s own potential coverage biases for the foreign born, it appears to better measure the hard-to-count foreign-born populations missing from the IDIM, and thus should be useful to adjust undercoverage of specific migrant groups in the IDIM. Some of the underrepresentation seen in the IDIM could be addressed by incorporating ITINs, but this has its own set of challenges that still need to be worked out. In lieu of linking additional administrative data sources to IDIM, integrating the ACS into IDIM to account for some of this undercoverage seems feasible. This is discussed in more detail later in the paper.

IV. Data Quality Analysis

29. The initial analysis brought up some questions about both IDIM and ACS data quality, specifically for the citizenship and year of entry variables. To provide insight into data quality, we compare shared ACS- and IDIM- derived variables for individuals who are matched to both data sets. As discussed previously, these shared variables include sex, age, citizenship status, year of entry, and state of current residence.

30. Results for ACS- and IDIM-derived variables for both sex and age are promising. There is very strong concurrence for individual sex variables derived from both the IDIM and ACS, with over 97% of male respondents and 98% of female respondents reporting the same sex. For age, we would expect to see differences based on how age is defined in each data source. The ACS asks for age at the time of survey (in addition to date of birth), while age on the Numident is based on the mid-point of the year. This appears to be the case, as only 48% of respondents have the same age on both files. However, when we expand the age to plus or minus one year, the concurrence rate increases to 95%. While we cannot determine which data source has more accurate values, age heaping is a known issue for survey-based age responses, and yet the overall age agreement between data sources seems to be high.

31. Citizenship status is measured very similarly on both the ACS and IDIM, with foreign-born respondents being disaggregated as either naturalized or non-citizens. Earlier results suggested a disconnect between these variables as derived by the IDIM and ACS, which is confirmed by this analysis. For the foreign-born on the IDIM who are identified as non-citizens, only 56% of those matched to the ACS report the same non-citizen status with the ACS citizenship variable, while 35% are naturalized and 9% are native born per the ACS citizenship question. For naturalized foreign born on the IDIM matched to the ACS, there is better concurrence, with 84% being naturalized on the ACS question and only 6% being non-citizens, while 10% are native born. The large differences between ACS- and IDIM-derived citizenship status could be indicative of lack of updates to naturalized status on SSA records, but also could reflect inaccurate data reporting on the ACS. Also concerning is that close to 10% of the Numident foreign born are classified as native born on the IDIM. Looking at the foreign born on the ACS, similarly, over 10% are classified as natives on the ACS. Further cross-tabulations by country of birth could help elucidate some of these findings. One partial explanation for this misconnect could be miscategorization of the native born from the “Born Abroad of American Parents” ACS citizenship question, which likely includes those whose parents were not naturalized citizens at the time of respondent’s birth, due to confusing question wording on the survey questionnaire. High imputation associated with the citizenship variable and mismatched PIKs are other possible contributing factors, in addition to erroneous ACS and IDIM data responses. More research would be needed to thoroughly investigate this issue though.

32. As discussed earlier, we would expect incongruence between the IDIM and ACS year of entry values, given

the different ways this variable is measured on the two data sets, as well as data quality concerns with the ACS variable regarding accurate recall and year heaping in responses. Analysis shown in Figure 3 confirms incongruence between the year of entry variable on the IDIM and ACS for matched individuals. The year of entry values from these two data sets only match 38% of the time. If we expand this range to within one year of each other, this only improves to 54% of cases, while plus or minus two years improves this to 61%. Even with a range of plus or minus 9 years, the year of entry values match just 83% of the time between data sets. Again, to what extent this is mostly due to data reporting issues (for both the ACS or the Numident), high imputation, and/or PIK record linkage error is not known. More research on the year of entry and citizenship status variables is clearly warranted.

33. Finally, for matched ACS-IDIM individuals we look at the reported state of residence on the IDIM and the ACS. The ACS geography variable comes from the location where the survey respondent resided at the time of inclusion in the survey, while IDIM geography comes from where the individual filed their tax return. It is possible that a person made an interstate move during the measurement period, so we would expect some differences on this variable between data sets. Evaluation of this variable shows relatively high congruence with 92% of ACS and IDIM geographies matching at the state level for linked individuals. Differences could easily be caused by interstate moves during the period, though less likely due to ACS imputation since this variable comes from the sampled address list.

34. In summary, differences between some IDIM- and ACS-derived variables for linked individuals were

unexpectantly large. As mentioned during the discussion of the citizenship status and year of entry variables, one possible explanation is that data are reported incorrectly on each data set. There is also the possibility that high imputation for foreign-born specific variables like citizenship, place of birth, and year of entry on the ACS further contributes to these differences. Additionally, there may be record linkage errors between IDIM and ACS, and thus they are not the same individuals, which is possible given the probabilistic method used to assign PIKs in the absence of SSN information. This is another area where future research is needed to allay possible concerns about data quality in the IDIM and the ACS.

V. Using the ACS to adjust IDIM

35. The purpose of this exploratory research was not only to evaluate IDIM coverage and data quality, but also to provide us with information about whether the ACS could be used to adjust the IDIM for its confirmed coverage limitations. Despite potential biases in foreign-born unit and item response, it appears the ACS does measure foreign-born populations missing from the IDIM, namely unauthorized migrants and informally employed migrants who do not file taxes, international students, and some dependents of IRS tax filers.

36. The US Census Bureau produces net international migration flow estimates for the nation, state, and county by

age, sex, race and Hispanic origin, primarily using ACS data. Development of the IDIM was not done with the

Working paper 3

11

intent of replacing the ACS, but rather is an effort to draw from the strengths of each dataset through data integration, thereby improving our estimates. The IDIM could be particularly useful for improving county- level estimates, for which our survey-based estimates are reliant on 5 years of pooled ACS foreign-born stock data and still have high levels of sampling variability, particularly for smaller counties. At the same time, there is still the potential of using the ACS to adjust IDIM undercoverage for both national and county-level estimates, as well as for national and subnational characteristics.

37. The Census Bureau has previously integrated administrative data at the macro-level to improve national

survey-based estimates of migration to and from Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria, as well as to account for the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on international migration flows to and from the United States. These methods used historical trends between ACS and administrative data to adjust ACS estimates based on levels seen with administrative data. Informing adjustments to the IDIM with the ACS would be an instance of using survey data to adjust administrative records and could potentially occur at both the macro- and micro-level, given the nature of linking procedures.

38. For example, from a macro-integration perspective, the ACS could be used to adjust for missing international

student populations, as well as age distributions at the subnational level, by adding a proportion of students to the national totals, or by applying ACS county-level age distributions for counties with large student populations. It could also be possible to use the levels and characteristics of the ACS-only population to account for missing IDIM populations, either through proportional or modeled estimate adjustments. These methods could help account for some missing unauthorized migrants, as well as other foreign-born populations missing from the IDIM. Further work to better disaggregate the ACS-only population into different categories would also improve the nuances of any adjustments made for this population.

39. From a micro-integration perspective, it could be possible to use linked householders on the IDIM and ACS,

for which information about family members is on the ACS but not the IDIM, to adjust for missing dependents who are not included on tax returns. Knowing the size of family on the ACS and to what extent this population is missing on the IDIM could inform some probabilistic estimation methods. All these macro- and micro-data integration methods would still need to be developed, but these initial findings suggest that the ACS could be a useful tool to improve migration estimates produced by the IDIM.

VI. Discussion

40. As this paper illustrates, there is still much work to be done to improve coverage of the IDIM and its estimates. Next steps include adding race and ethnicity data to the IDIM though an established method used by other areas of the Census Bureau—namely, using matched information from the 2010 and 2020 Census on race/ethnicity to assign values, as well as modeling missing information on new migrants from ACS country of origin race distributions. This would provide us with the ability to derive all characteristics needed to produce our migration estimates from the IDIM. The application of the IDIM to produce subnational county-level estimates needs to be further evaluated, even if questions about data coverage persist.

41. Further work on the potential for adding ITINs to the IDIM through a process that does not duplicate

individuals could be beneficial and greatly help improve coverage of the unauthorized migrant population. The IDIM also underestimates young children. This may be partially resolved by refining our imputation processes for non-matching dependents but will need further investigation. This paper provided additional insight into this underestimated population, and as discussed earlier, further disaggregation of the ACS-only population would improve our understanding the IDIM. Use of additional data sources could also help in this endeavor.

42. Linking the IDIM to other data sources, such as files provided by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services or the Department of Health and Human Services, would be very helpful. Data sharing agreements are being developed with these agencies and could provide invaluable information, not just for missing populations, but for verifying and improving data quality on the IDIM.

Working paper 3

12

43. Similarly, though we do not currently have access to data from US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the Student and Exchange Visitor Program would be ideal for estimating student and exchange visitor flows. Arrival and Departure Information System data from Customs and Border Protection could help us measure unauthorized flows. These are examples of potential data sources which could be incorporated into the IDIM at a future date.

44. In addition to improving IDIM coverage, further work should be conducted to better understand data quality, such as for the citizenship and year of entry questions. In any event, the US Census Bureau will continue to attempt to develop and integrate administrative sources with survey data to improve our net international migration estimates.

Оценка охвата для Интегрированной базы данных по международной миграции (ИБДММ) Бюро переписи США

Записка Бюро переписи США Аннотация В последние годы Отдел международной миграции Бюро переписи населения США изучал использование административных данных для улучшения оценок потоков международной миграции иностранцев, в результате чего была создана связанная база данных под названием Интегрированная база данных по международной миграции (ИБДММ). Недостаток ИБДММ заключается в том, что она ограничена лицами, присутствующими в наборах данных федеральных административных записей, полученных Бюро переписи населения, что приводит к пробелам в учете лиц иностранного происхождения. Мы предполагаем, что ИБДММ занижает показатели или упускает определенные группы иностранцев, не присутствующие в связанных источниках данных, в том числе работающих мигрантов, которые не подавали налоговые декларации, неработающих иждивенцев, не заявленных в качестве освобожденных от уплаты налогов, иностранных студентов, посетителей по обмену и нелегальных мигрантов. Обследование американского сообщества (ОАС) — это крупное ежегодное обследование домохозяйств, проводимое Бюро переписи населения США, которое теоретически должно охватывать группы населения, не учтенные в ИБДММ. Чтобы изучить ограничения охвата ИБДММ, мы сопоставляем отдельные записи ОАС с ИБДММ. В настоящем документе представлены результаты зондирующего исследования для оценки охвата ИБДММ. Здесь также оцениваются численность и характеристики респондентов ОАС, не включенных в ИБДММ, в отличие от тех, кто присутствует в ИБДММ. Кроме того, это исследование призвано оценить качество данных ОАС и ИБДММ, поскольку мы можем сравнить результаты для связанных лиц и домохозяйств в каждом источнике данных. Результаты сравнения дают нам информацию о потенциале использования ОАС для коррекции ограниченного охвата ИБДММ.

I. Введение

1. Отделение международной миграции Бюро переписи населения США ежегодно производит оценки

иммиграционных потоков иностранцев в США с указанием демографических данных (возраст, пол, раса и латиноамериканское происхождение) в географическом разрезе страны, штата и округа. Эти оценки формируются с использованием Обследования американского сообщества (ОАС) в качестве основного источника данных, хотя оценки по итогам обследования имеют ограничения, такие как повышенная дисперсия, особенно в субнациональных регионах, и запаздывающее измерение миграционных событий. Чтобы помочь преодолеть эти ограничения, Бюро переписи населения разработало альтернативный источник данных под названием «Интегрированная база данных по международной миграции» (ИБДММ), который включает доступные административные данные из системы социального обеспечения и налоговой отчетности для оценки международной миграции.

2. Одним из недостатков ИБДММ является то, что она ограничивается лицами, присутствующими в

наборах данных федеральных административных записей, из-за чего лица, родившиеся за границей и не включенные в эти записи, не учитываются. Это означает, что ИБДММ, вероятно, занижает количество или упускает определенные группы иностранцев, например работающих мигрантов, которые не подавали налоговые декларации, неработающих иждивенцев, не заявленных в качестве освобожденных от уплаты налогов, иностранных студентов, посетителей по обмену и нелегальных мигрантов. ОАС представляет собой крупное ежегодное обследование домохозяйств, проводимое Бюро переписи населения США. Обследование репрезентативно для всего постоянного населения и, таким образом, теоретически должно охватывать эти недостающие в ИБДММ группы населения. Хотя вероятно, что в ОАС тоже недостаточно представлены некоторые из этих отсутствующих групп иностранного происхождения, мы все же можем проанализировать ограничения охвата ИБДММ, сопоставив отдельные записи ОАС с ИБДММ. Это позволяет нам сравнивать тех, кто присутствует и в ОАС, и в ИБДММ («совпадение ОАС» или «совпадение ОАС-ИБДММ»), с теми, кто присутствует в ОАС, но не в ИБДММ («только ОАС» или «несовпадение ОАС-ИБДММ»). В дополнение к этому сравнению для лиц, представленных как в ОАС, так и в ИБДММ, мы можем оценить качество данных по ряду переменных, общих для обоих наборов данных, включая возраст, пол, статус гражданства, год въезда и текущее место жительства. Наконец, на основе этих выводов в настоящем документе обсуждаются возможности использования ОАС для коррекции результатов ИБДММ для улучшения соответствующих оценок.

II. Обзор ИБДММ

3. ИБДММ создается путем установления связей между источниками административных данных,

которые можно использовать для оценки показателей иммиграции лиц иностранного происхождения. Хотя существует много административных источников данных, которые потенциально могут быть использованы в ИБДММ, например, те, которые ведет Министерство национальной безопасности (МНБ), в настоящее время мы ограничены источниками данных, уже доступными Бюро переписи населения: система Numident Службы социального обеспечения (ССО) и информация о налоговых декларациях от Налоговой службы (НС). Привязка данных осуществляется путем сопоставления

Рабочий документ 3

уникальных персональных ключей идентификации (ПКИ), которые присваиваются каждому отдельному человеку в наборах данных. ПКИ проще всего создать с помощью прямого сопоставления зашифрованных номеров социального страхования (НСС), но они также создаются путем вероятностного сопоставления информации об имени, поле, возрасте и адресе.

А. Numident (Цифровая система опознавания)

4. Numident — это набор данных микрозаписей, который объединяет записи НСС ССО с записями о

смертях Бюро переписи населения. Он включает данные о демографических характеристиках, месте рождения и статусе гражданства. Однако он не включает адресных данных. НСС можно легко анонимизировать с помощью ПКИ, которые позволяют связывать наборы данных. Поскольку большинство зарегистрированных иммигрантов в США подают заявки на получение НСС, система Numident была выбрана в качестве основы ИБДММ для первоначальной интеграции данных и исследования

5. Данные Numident предоставляются ежеквартально и содержат записи обо всех лицах, которые когда-

либо получали НСС. Помимо родившихся в стране, сюда входят заявки на НСС от родившихся за границей. Лица, родившиеся за границей, которые либо имеют разрешение на работу, либо стали натурализованными гражданами, имеют право на получение НСС. Используя комбинацию статуса гражданства, места рождения и даты создания записи, мы можем идентифицировать мигрантов, родившихся за границей, на национальном уровне по демографическим характеристикам. Связывание данных Numident с другими источниками может дать нам дополнительную информацию, такую как место жительства, что позволит нам создать субнациональные оценки численности лиц, родившихся за границей. Так мы получаем информацию еще и о «признаках жизни», которые дают нам дополнительную уверенность в том, что лицо, имеющее номер социального обеспечения, переехало в США на период времени, необходимый для получения вида на жительство.

B. Налоговая информация от Налоговой службы

6. НС представляет в Бюро переписи населения информацию на основе формы 1040 каждые четыре

недели. Хотя эти данные не включают демографические характеристики, они включают информацию об адресах и ПКИ для основного заявителя, супругов и иждивенцев. Там, где это возможно, адресные данные связаны с Идентификатором главного адресного файла. Данные НС не включают информацию о статусе лиц иностранного происхождения, которая должна поступать из связанных файлов Numident. Кроме того, они не включают информацию о лицах, не подающих налоговые декларации (либо из-за отсутствия достаточного дохода, либо из-за того, что не заявляют о доходах). НСС, включенные в налоговые данные, обеспечивают возможность прямого сопоставления физических лиц с данными системы Numident.

7. Кроме того, можно идентифицировать налоговые данные, в которых используются индивидуальные

идентификационные номера налогоплательщика (ИИНН), – уникальные идентификаторы, используемые физическими лицами, не имеющими НСС, для подачи налоговых деклараций. ИИНН выдаются только лицам, не являющимся гражданами США; таким образом, чтобы присвоить статус родившихся за границей, нет необходимости связывать этих людей с системой Numident. Хотя предполагается, что эта совокупность включает мигрантов, не имеющих разрешения на работу, она также включает неработающих иждивенцев легальных рабочих-мигрантов. Изменения в налоговом законодательстве 2017 года привели к резкому сокращению сообщаемых ИИНН, поскольку супруги и иждивенцы с тех пор имеют право на ИИНН, только если они имеют право на определенные вычеты

Рабочий документ 3

или подают свою собственную отдельную декларацию.1 Эта ситуация значительно снижает полезность ИННН для идентификации мигрантов после 2017 года. Дальнейшее усложнение использования ИИНН заключается в том, что от отдельных лиц периодически требуется повторно подавать заявку на получение ИИНН, и, таким образом, кто-то может иметь несколько ИИНН в течение жизни. Кроме того, держатели ИИНН могут позже подать заявку на получение НСС и, таким образом, для них в файле могут быть как ИИНН, так и НСС. Поскольку номера ИИНН не регистрируются в системе социального обеспечения, их нельзя напрямую сопоставить с данными системы Numident, хотя можно использовать вероятностные методы для сопоставления записей ИИНН с другими наборами данных. Текущая версия ИБДММ не включает держателей ИИНН, но в настоящее время проводятся дополнительные исследования, чтобы понять, как их можно включить в будущие анализы.

C. Создание ИБДММ

8. Как отмечалось ранее, система Numident является основой для выявления иммигрантов, родившихся за

границей. Она используется на первом этапе обработки, когда лица, родившиеся за границей, идентифицируются с помощью переменных гражданства из системы Numident (включая иностранцев, имеющих разрешение на работу, и натурализованных граждан). Затем мы используем год создания записи в качестве приблизительного показателя для года въезда в США. Наконец, мы удаляем лиц, умерших в том же году, когда они мигрировали. Этот шаг приводит к оценке численности иммигрантов иностранного происхождения по годам с демографическими характеристиками, хотя и явно завышенной. Мы ожидаем, что здесь оценка будет завышена, так как эта совокупность включает заявителей на получение НСС, которые получили НСС, но либо приехали в США только на короткий период времени, либо никогда фактически не мигрировали в США. Информация о лицах, родившихся в США, сохраняется в файле, чтобы иметь группу сравнения с родившимся за границей. Данные о расе и латиноамериканском происхождении являются неполными или отсутствуют в системе Numident2, поэтому необходимо использовать альтернативные методы для определения расы и латиноамериканского происхождения путем моделирования данных десятилетней переписи населения 2010 года и файлов ОАС. Такие методы определения расы в системе Numident не были включены в статью, что ограничивает анализ этих переменных.

9. На втором этапе обработки мы сопоставляем записи Numident с данными налоговых деклараций по

форме 1040 НС, чтобы подтвердить въезд в США. Numident содержит все заявки на получение НСС, в том числе от тех, кто получил НСС, но фактически никогда не въезжал в США или проживал там в течение короткого периода времени. Чтобы исключить эту группу из наших оценок, мы сопоставляем данные НС, чтобы ограничить совокупность законными мигрантами, которые работали и платили налоги в США, а также как работающими, так и неработающими натурализованными гражданами. На этом этапе также присваиваются геокоды, что дает нам информацию об иммигрантах иностранного происхождения с демографическими характеристиками в разрезе страны, штата или округа. Здесь мы ожидаем занижение оценки численности населения иностранного происхождения, поскольку мы не учитываем мигрантов, не подающих налоговую декларацию, а также легальных неработающих мигрантов.

10. На данном этапе ИБДММ включает следующие группы иммигрантов: натурализованные граждане,

иностранные граждане, имеющие разрешение на работу и подающие налоговые декларации, а также их неработающие иждивенцы и супруги. Не включены следующие группы населения: граждане США, родившиеся за границей от родителей-американцев, нелегальные мигранты, работающие мигранты, не подавшие налоговую декларацию, и неработающие иждивенцы, на которых не распространяется

освобождение от уплаты налогов. Учитывая, что ОАС призвано быть репрезентативным для всего постоянного населения США, оно должно включать информацию о многих группах иностранного происхождения, которые в настоящее время отсутствуют в ИБДММ.

D. ОАС

11. В настоящем документе микроданные ОАС за 2019 год связываются с ИБДММ, чтобы помочь оценить

охват ИБДММ, а также качество данных как ИБДММ, так и ОАС. ОАС представляет собой большое ежегодное непрерывное обследование домохозяйств США, в ходе которого запрашивается подробная информация, ранее собранная в развернутой форме десятилетней переписи. Полностью реализованное в 2005 году, оно в настоящее время охватывает около 3,5 миллионов адресов в год. Включение в выборку основано на проживании или планировании проживания не менее двух месяцев по адресу, включенному в выборку. В ходе ОАС респондентам задают вопросы социально-демографической и экономической направленности, которые включают переменные, относящиеся к иммиграции, такие как страна рождения, статус гражданства, год въезда в США и страна проживания год назад. Хотя информация о НСС не собирается в рамках ОАС, респондентам ОАС могут быть присвоены ПКИ с помощью системы проверки личности (СПЛ), которая определяет вероятность путем сопоставления информации об имени, поле и адресе.

12. Поскольку выборочная совокупность ОАС включает всех жителей США и не различает их по

правовому статусу, мы считаем, что ОАС является потенциально хорошим источником информации о мигрантах, не учтенных в ИБДММ. Однако, учитывая сложность подсчета недавно въехавших и нелегальных мигрантов, вполне вероятно, что эти группы населения недостаточно представлены в ОАС (Jensen et al, 2015). Хотя мы не собираемся оценивать охват ОАС в этой статье, эту проблему следует иметь в виду при интерпретации некоторых наших результатов.

E. Система проверки личности (СПЛ)

13. СПЛ применяется Бюро переписи населения для определения и проверки номеров НСС и ПКИ для

персональных записей в ходе обследований, переписей и административных записей. Бюро переписи пытается присвоить ПКИ каждой административной записи с помощью вероятностной модели, известной как Модель проверки личности (Wagner and Layne, 2014), и состоящей из четырех модулей. Во-первых, если административные данные содержат НСС, модуль верификации проверяет точное совпадение НСС с файлом Numident и проверяет достаточное соответствие элементов имени и даты рождения. Если они согласуются, НСС считается верифицированным и СПЛ присваивает соответствующий ПКИ записи о человеке. Если НСС отсутствует, как в случае с ОАС, СПЛ переходит к еще трем вероятностным модулям, пытаясь присвоить НСС административной записи, используя географические данные, имя и дату рождения. Приблизительно 94 % всех записей ОАС за 2010 год получили ПКИ, из чего следует, что только 6% всех записей не могут быть связаны с какими-либо административными данными.

14. Лица, которым не присвоены ПКИ, потенциально могут привести к смещению связанных данных. При

изучении ОАС 2009 и 2010 годов был сделан вывод о том, что СПЛ с меньшей вероятностью верифицирует маленьких детей, представителей меньшинств, проживающих в помещениях для группового проживания, иммигрантов, недавно переехавших, лиц с низким доходом и безработных (Bond, 2014). В дополнение к неприсвоению ПКИ существует возможность ошибочного присвоения ПКИ отдельным лицам (также называемая ошибкой привязки записей), хотя частота этих неправильно присвоенных ПКИ для иностранцев неизвестна (Abowd et al., 2020). Это одна из возможных причин

Рабочий документ 3

несоответствия между переменными в ИБДММ и ОАС, когда сопоставление людей происходит неправильно.

F. Привязка ОАС к ИБДММ

15. В этой статье мы связали данные ОАС за 2019 год с совокупностью ИБДММ за 2019 год. Поскольку

совокупность ИБДММ определяется связанными записями из системы Numident и НС, которые характеризуются недостаточным охватом пожилых людей, мы ограничили нашу совокупность лицами моложе 65 лет, чтобы совокупность ОАС была более сопоставимой. Для нашей совокупности ОАС 14% идентифицированы как родившиеся за границей. Чтобы определить иностранца в ОАС, мы используем ответы на вопрос о гражданстве, полученные в рамках ОАС. Те, кто родился в США и за границей от родителей-американцев, определяются как «родившиеся в стране», в то время как натурализованные граждане США и лица, не являющиеся гражданами США, определяются как «родившиеся за границей». Доля родившихся за границей в ИБДММ составляет 12,6%. Родившиеся за границей определяются аналогично ОАС на основании переменной гражданства из-за опасений относительно качества данных о стране рождения и индикаторных переменных иностранного происхождения в системе Numident. В случае ИБДММ мы используем переменную, которая идентифицирует «граждан США» и «легальных иностранцев», в сочетании с переменной, которая указывает, был ли человек когда-либо натурализован. Ни определения ОАС, ни определения в ИБДММ для родившихся за границей не разбивают эту группу по статусу гражданства, что важно отметить из- за проблем с качеством данных для переменной натурализации как в ОАС (Van Hook and Bachmeirb, 2013), так и в Numident.

16. Для всей совокупности ОАС 91% выборки может быть присвоен индивидуальный ПКИ и, таким

образом происходит сопоставление с системой Numident или присвоение ИИНН НС. Среди лиц иностранного происхождения, выявленных в рамках ОАС, 79% выборки могут быть присвоены ПКИ. При дальнейшей привязке к данным НС/НСС эти коэффициенты совпадения снижаются: через ПКИ можно привязать 82% всей совокупности ОАС и 71% выборки лиц иностранного происхождения. Такое снижение коэффициентов совпадения ожидаемо, поскольку ИБДММ ограничивается налоговыми декларантами с НСС. На основании предыдущих исследований, рассмотренных выше, ожидался более низкий коэффициент совпадения для совокупности лиц иностранного происхождения, что приводит к недостаточному учету лиц иностранного происхождения в ИБДММ.

17. И наоборот, показатель несовпадения для совокупности родившихся за границей в ОАС составляет

29%, что дает нам ключевую группу сравнения. Эта совокупность состоит из трех отдельных групп: учтенные в ОАС, кому нельзя присвоить ПКИ, те, у кого есть ИИНН и кто подает налоговые декларации, и те, кто может быть связан с системой Numident, но не подавал налоговые декларации или не фигурировал в налоговых декларациях, подаваемых в НС, как освобожденный от уплаты налога. В будущих исследованиях будет предпринята попытка сделать разбивку совокупности ОАС, не сопоставленной с совокупностью ИБДММ, но предполагается, что она включает большую часть нелегальных мигрантов, а также такие группы, как иностранные студенты и иждивенцы, которые не заявлены как освобожденные от налогов в налоговых декларациях, следовательно, те, кто считается отсутствующими в совокупности ИБДММ.

III. Сравнение совокупностей родившихся за границей в ИБДММ и ОАС

18. Существует несколько различных совокупностей, которые можно сравнить для оценки охвата ИБДММ. Рисунок 1 представляет собой концептуальную схему того, как создаются различные совокупности, связывающие между собой Numident, НС и ОАС. ИБДММ состоит из совпадений Numident и НС и в настоящее время исключает тех, у кого есть записи ИИНН (светло-голубого цвета, за пределами Numident и ИБДММ). На рисунке также обозначены важные группы сравнения,

Рабочий документ 3

использованные в этом анализе: (1) ИБДММ в целом (фиолетовый), (2) группа совпадения ОАС или ОАС-ИБДММ (желтый) и (3) группы только ОАС или группы несовпадения ОАС-ИБДММ. Группа только ОАС состоит из трех подгрупп: файлы ОАС, не поддерживающие ПКИ (светло-желтый), респонденты ОАС в Numident, но не в ИБДММ (оранжевый, например, не подающие налоговые декларации), и респонденты ОАС в НС, но не в Numident (зеленый, например, держатели ИИНН)

Рисунок 1. Оценочные совокупности Numident, НС, ИБДММ и ОАС

Источники: 2020 Census Numident, IRS 1040 TY19, 2019 American Community Survey

19. В целях сравнения в Таблице 1 приведены подробные демографические и социально-экономические характеристики каждой из этих совокупностей родившихся за границей. Все эти характеристики могут быть получены из ОАС, хотя ограниченное количество переменных также доступно в ИБДММ, включая пол, возраст, статус гражданства, год въезда и государство текущего проживания. Таким образом, для группы совпадения ОАС-ИБДММ некоторые переменные могут быть получены независимо как из ОАС, так и из ИБДММ, что позволит нам оценить качество данных в следующем разделе.

(См. Таблицу 1 в приложении)

20. Как и ожидалось, мы обнаружили четкие различия между сопоставленными совокупностями

ИБДММ/ОАС-ИБДММ и совокупностями только ОАС. Совокупность только ОАС содержала больше мужчин, была более молодой (до 25 лет), менее азиатской, более латиноамериканской (мексиканской и центральноамериканской), менее образованной и в большей степени не работающей и бедной. Между группой ИБДММ и группой только ОАС были некоторые расхождения, касающиеся года въезда. Сравнение совокупностей только ОАС и сопоставленных с ОАС показало более резкие различия между группами, чем сравнения с ИБДММ в целом. Особый интерес представляли различия относительно статуса гражданства и года въезда.

21. Распределение по полу и возрасту можно получить как из ИБДММ, так и из ОАС для различных групп.

Совокупность только ОАС была более мужской, чем совокупность ИБДММ и сопоставленная совокупность ОАС-ИБДММ. Возраст в ИБДММ был в целом выше (50 лет и старше), в то время как совокупность группы только ОАС была более молодой, включая больше людей студенческого возраста и детей.

Рабочий документ 3

22. Как обсуждалось ранее, раса и латиноамериканское происхождение в настоящее время не поддаются

измерению в ИБДММ, поэтому это сравнение было ограничено группами только ОАС и группами, сопоставленными с ОАС. Были обнаружены четкие различия: гораздо больше азиатов в совокупности, сопоставленной с ОАС, и гораздо больше латиноамериканцев в совокупности только ОАС. Среди латиноамериканцев в совокупности только ОАС было гораздо больше лиц мексиканского или центральноамериканского происхождения по сравнению с совокупностью, сопоставленной с ОАС.

23. Социально-экономические переменные доступны только в ОАС, и были видны четкие различия между

совокупностями, в которых используется только ОАС, и совокупностями, сопоставленными с ОАС. С точки зрения образования, совокупность только ОАС с гораздо большей вероятностью имела ниже среднего образование, в то время как совокупность, сопоставленная с ОАС, с большей вероятностью имела, по крайней мере, диплом колледжа. В связи с этим, группа сопоставления с ОАС с большей вероятностью работала и не жила в бедности, чем группа только ОАС.

24. Некоторые интересные результаты были обнаружены при рассмотрении переменных года въезда и

гражданства, представленных как в ОАС, так и в ИБДММ. Год въезда определяется в ИБДММ как год, когда НСС был введен в систему Numident, в то время как ОАС спрашивает респондентов, в каком году они переехали в США, поэтому мы ожидаем увидеть различия между этими наборами данных. Это не относится к совокупностям только ОАС и ИБДММ, поскольку в них распределение по годам въезда очень похоже. Однако при сравнении совокупностей данных только ОАС и сопоставления с ОАС, в которых используется одна и та же переменная измерения для года въезда, различия действительно появляются. Совокупность только ОАС с большей вероятностью включала недавних мигрантов (с 2015 года), чем совокупность сопоставления с ОАС, представители которой с большей вероятностью прибыли до 1999 года. Учитывая аналогичное распределение года въезда между совокупностями ИБДММ и только ОАС, были обнаружены некоторые неожиданные различия между распределениями года въезда на основе ИБДММ при сопоставлении ОАС-ИБДММ, и распределениями года въезда на основе ОАС при сопоставлении ОАС-ИБДММ, которые будут более подробно рассматриваться в следующем разделе.

25. Статус гражданства также дает интересные результаты, которые ставят под сомнение качество этой

переменной в ИБДММ. Лица иностранного происхождения в ИБДММ с гораздо большей вероятностью не являются гражданами США, чем в совокупности, сопоставленной с ОАС, что стало неожиданным результатом. Это говорит о том, что записи ИБДММ не обновляются регулярно после того, как человек натурализуется, или дает основания полагать, что данные ОАС для этой переменной низкого качества (или наблюдается сочетание обеих причин). Более показательным является сравнение совокупностей только ОАС и сопоставленных с ОАС, где обнаруживаются серьезные расхождения. Доля иностранцев и лиц без гражданства намного выше в совокупности только ОАС, в то время как, наоборот, доля натурализованных иностранцев, родившихся за границей, намного выше для совокупности сопоставления с ОАС. Это позволяет говорить о том, что совокупность только ОАС более репрезентативна для лиц, не имеющих права на НСС, включая нелегальных мигрантов и иждивенцев легальных мигрантов.

26. Тот или иной статус гражданства не имеет значения с точки зрения того, как мы используем ИБДММ

для оценок лиц, родившихся за границей. Неважно, есть ли у кого-то в ИБДММ точная и актуальная информация о статусе натурализации, поскольку важно, родился он за границей или нет. Однако эти результаты могут иметь важное значение для других типов анализа с использованием административных данных и, вероятно, потребуют дополнительных связей с другими источниками данных (например, из Службы гражданства и иммиграции США (USCIS)) для точного определения статуса гражданства.

27. Наконец, на рисунке 2 показана разница в статусе проживания для тех, кто присутствует в файлах только ОАС и ИБДММ. Различия были относительно небольшими: в ИБДММ присутствовало немного больше представителей в таких штатах, как Флорида и Нью-Йорк, а в совокупности только ОАС был немного больше представлен Техас.

Рисунок 2. Процентная разница в статусе проживания между совокупностями ИБДММ и только ОАС

Источники: Бюро переписи населения США, Интегрированная база данных по международной миграции и Обследование американского сообщества 2019 года; Служба социального обеспечения; и Налоговая служба

28. Эти результаты свидетельствуют о том, что в ИБДММ очевидно недостаточно представлены определенные группы лиц иностранного происхождения. Несмотря на собственные потенциальные погрешности в охвате ОАС лиц, родившихся за границей, представляется, что оно более полно учитывает трудные для подсчета группы населения, родившегося за границей, отсутствующие в ИБДММ, и, следовательно, должно быть полезно для корректировки неполного охвата отдельных групп мигрантов в ИБДММ. Частично проблему недостаточной репрезентативности ИБДММ можно было бы решить путем включения ИИНН, но это сопряжено с рядом новых сложностей, которые еще предстоит решить. Вместо привязки дополнительных источников административных данных к

Рабочий документ 3

10

ИБДММ представляется целесообразным интегрировать ОАС в ИБДММ для частичного решения проблемы недостаточного охвата. Более подробно это обсуждается далее в статье.

IV. Анализ качества данных

29. Первоначальный анализ поднял некоторые вопросы о качестве данных как ИБДММ, так и ОАС, особенно в отношении переменных гражданства и года въезда. Чтобы получить представление о качестве данных, мы сравниваем общие переменные, полученные с помощью ОАС и ИБДММ, для людей, которые сопоставляются по обоим наборам данных. Как обсуждалось ранее, эти общие переменные включают пол, возраст, статус гражданства, год въезда и штат текущего проживания.

30. Результаты для переменных, полученных на основе данных ОАС и ИБДММ, как для пола, так и для

возраста, являются многообещающими. Существует очень сильное совпадение индивидуальных половых переменных, полученных как из ИБДММ, так и из данных ОАС: более 97% респондентов- мужчин и 98% респондентов-женщин сообщили об одном и том же поле. Что касается возраста, мы ожидаем увидеть различия в зависимости от того, как возраст определяется в каждом источнике данных. В ходе ОАС запрашивается возраст на момент обследования (в дополнение к дате рождения), в то время как возраст в системе Numident привязан к середине года. По-видимому проблема именно в этом, поскольку только 48% респондентов имеют одинаковый возраст в обоих файлах. Однако, когда мы увеличиваем возраст до плюс-минус одного года, уровень совпадения увеличивается до 95%. Хотя мы не можем определить, какой источник данных имеет более точные значения, возрастная аккумуляция является известной проблемой для ответов о возрасте при опросах, и все же в целом соответствие возрастов между источниками данных кажется высоким.

31. Статус гражданства определяется очень похоже в ОАС и в ИБДММ, при этом респонденты, родившиеся за границей, делятся на натурализованных и иностранцев. Более ранние результаты предполагали отсутствие связи между этими переменными, полученными с помощью ИБДММ и ОАС, что подтверждается этим анализом. Что касается родившихся за границей по данным ИБДММ, идентифицированных как иностранцы, только 56% из группы сопоставления с данными ОАС сообщают о том же статусе иностранца в соответствии с переменной гражданства в ОАС, в то время как 35% являются натурализованными гражданами и 9% являются коренными жителями согласно вопросу ОАС о гражданстве. Для натурализованных граждан, родившихся за границей, в данных ИБДММ, сопоставленных с ОАС, наблюдается лучшее совпадение: 84% натурализованных согласно вопросу ОАС и только 6% являются иностранцами, а 10% являются коренными жителями. Большие различия между статусами гражданства, полученными на основе ОАС и ИБДММ, могут свидетельствовать об отсутствии обновлений статуса натурализованного гражданина в записях ССО. Однако это также может свидетельствовать о том, что в рамках ОАС сообщаются неточные данные. Кроме того, вызывает беспокойство тот факт, что около 10% родившихся за границей по данным

Рабочий документ 3

11

системы Numident в ИБДММ классифицируются как коренные жители. Если рассмотреть иностранцев, представленных в данных ОАС, то более 10% также классифицируются как коренные жители в ОАС. Дальнейшие построение комбинационных таблиц по странам рождения может прояснить некоторые из этих выводов. Одним из частичных объяснений этого несоответствия может быть неправильная категоризация коренных жителей при ответе на вопрос ОАС о гражданстве «Родившийся за границей от родителей-американцев». По всей вероятности из-за неоднозначной формулировки вопроса о гражданстве в анкете сюда включены лица, чьи родители не были натурализованными гражданами на момент рождения респондента. В дополнение к ошибочным ответам в данных ОАС и ИБДММ причина кроется еще и в высокой импутации, связанной с переменной гражданства, и неверно подобранных ПКИ. Однако для тщательного изучения этого вопроса потребуются дополнительные исследования.

32. Как обсуждалось ранее, мы ожидаем несоответствия между значениями года въезда в ИБДММ и ОАС,

учитывая разные способы измерения этой переменной в двух наборах данных, а также проблемы качества данных с этой переменной ОАС в связи с точностью отклика модели и возрастной аккумуляцией в ответах. Анализ, показанный на рисунке 3, подтверждает несоответствие между переменной года въезда в ИБДММ и ОАС для сопоставленных лиц. Значения года въезда из этих двух наборов данных совпадают только в 38% случаев. Если мы расширим этот диапазон до плюс-минус одного года, наблюдается улучшение только до 54% случаев, а плюс-минус два года улучшит этот результат до 61%. Даже с диапазоном плюс-минус 9 лет значения года въезда совпадают только в 83% случаев между наборами данных. Опять же, неизвестно, в какой степени это преимущественно связано с проблемами предоставления данных (как для ОАС, так и для Numident), высокой импутацией и (или) ошибкой привязки записей ПКИ. Очевидно, что необходимо дополнительное изучение переменных года въезда и статуса гражданства.

Рисунок 3. Распределение различий в ответах на вопрос о годе въезда среди сопоставленных лиц в данных ОАС и ИБДММ

33. Наконец, для лиц, сопоставленных в ОАС-ИБДММ, мы видим сообщаемый статус проживания в ИБДММ и ОАС. Географическая переменная в ОАС зависит от места, где проживал респондент обследования на момент включения в обследование, а в ИБДММ - от того, где человек подавал свою налоговую декларацию. Вполне возможно, что человек переехал в другой штат в течение периода измерения, поэтому можно было бы ожидать некоторых различий по этой переменной между наборами данных. Оценка этой переменной показывает относительно высокое соответствие с 92% географических совпадений по данным ОАС и ИБДММ на уровне штата для связанных лиц. Различия вполне могут быть вызваны перемещениями между штатами в течение периода, хотя менее вероятно, что это связано с импутацией данных ОАС, поскольку эта переменная берется из выборочного списка адресов.

34. Если подытожить, то различия между некоторыми переменными, полученными из ИБДММ и ОАС, для

сопоставленных лиц были неожиданно большими. Как упоминалось при обсуждении переменных статуса гражданства и года въезда, одним из возможных объяснений является то, что данные сообщаются неправильно по каждому набору данных. Существует также вероятность того, что высокие импутации для определенных переменных для родившихся за границей, таких как гражданство, место рождения и год въезда в ОАС, еще больше усиливают эти различия. Кроме того, могут быть ошибки при установлении связей между записями ИБДММ и ОАС, и, следовательно, они будут присвоены разными лицами, что вполне возможно, учитывая вероятностный метод, используемый для присвоения ПКИ при отсутствии информации о НСС. Это еще одно направление, которое требует дальнейшего изучения, чтобы развеять возможные опасения по поводу качества данных ИБДММ и ОАС.

V. Использование ОАС для корректировки ИБДММ

35. Цель этого зондирующего исследования заключалась не только в оценке охвата и качества данных ИБДММ, но и в предоставлении нам информации о том, можно ли использовать ОАС для корректировки ИБДММ с учетом подтвержденных ограничений охвата. Несмотря на потенциальные погрешности в ответах для целых домохозяйств и для отдельных вопросов об иностранном происхождении, по всей видимости ОАС действительно учитывает население иностранного происхождения, отсутствующее в ИБДММ, а именно нелегальных мигрантов и неофициально трудоустроенных мигрантов, которые не подают налоговых деклараций, иностранных студентов и некоторых иждивенцев налоговых декларантов НС.

36. Бюро переписи населения США производит оценки чистых международных миграционных потоков для страны, штата и округа в разбивке по возрасту, полу, расе и латиноамериканскому происхождению, в основном с использованием данных ОАС. Разработка ИБДММ проводилась не с целью заменить ОАС, скорее это была попытка использовать сильные стороны каждого набора данных посредством интеграции данных, что позволило бы улучшить наши оценки. ИБДММ может быть особенно полезна для улучшения оценок на уровне округов, где наши оценки основываются на сводных данных ОАС о численности иностранцев за 5 лет и по-прежнему имеют высокий уровень изменчивости выборки, особенно для небольших округов. В то же время все еще существует возможность использования ОАС для корректировки недостаточного охвата ИБДММ для оценок на уровне страны и округа, а также для национальных и субнациональных характеристик.

37. Бюро переписи населения ранее интегрировало административные данные на макроуровне, чтобы

улучшить оценки миграции в Пуэрто-Рико и из Пуэрто-Рико после урагана «Мария» на основе национальных обследований, а также для учета воздействия пандемии COVID-19 на международные миграционные потоки в и из США. Эти методики использовали исторические тенденции между данными ОАС и административными данными для корректировки оценок ОАС на основе уровней, наблюдаемых на административных данных. Использование данных ОАС для корректировки ИБДММ будет примером использования данных обследования для корректировки административных записей и потенциально может происходить как на макро-, так и на микроуровне, учитывая характер процедур привязки данных.

38. Например, с точки зрения макроинтеграции, ОАС можно использовать для корректировки не

представленных групп иностранных студентов, а также распределения по возрасту на субнациональном уровне путем добавления доли учащихся к общей численности по стране или путем применения данных ОАС о возрастном распределении на уровне округа для округов с большим количеством студентов. Также можно было бы использовать уровни и характеристики групп населения только по данным ОАС для учета отсутствующих в ИБДММ групп населения посредством либо пропорциональных, либо смоделированных поправок оценок. Эти методы могут помочь учесть часть отсутствующих в ИБДММ нелегальных мигрантов, а также другие группы населения, родившиеся за границей. Дальнейшая работа по совершенствованию разбивки населения по данным только ОАС на различные категории также улучшит нюансы любых корректировок, сделанных для этого населения.

39. С точки зрения микроинтеграции можно было бы использовать связанных в ИБДММ и ОАС

домохозяев, информация о членах семьи которых присутствует в ОАС, но не в ИБДММ, для корректировки данных о неучтенных иждивенцах, не включенных в налоговые декларации. Информация о размере семьи в данных ОАС и о том, в какой степени это население отсутствует в ИБДММ, может дать информацию для некоторых вероятностных методов оценки. Все эти методы интеграции макро- и микроданных еще предстоит разработать, но первоначальные результаты показывают, что ОАС может быть полезным инструментом для улучшения оценок миграции, полученных с помощью ИБДММ.

VI. Обсуждение

40. Как показано в настоящем документе, предстоит еще многое сделать для улучшения охвата ИБДММ и соответствующих оценок. На следующих этапах необходимо добавить в ИБДММ данные о расе и этнической принадлежности с помощью хорошо зарекомендовавшего себя метода, используемого другими подразделениями Бюро переписи населения, а именно: использование сопоставленной информации из переписей 2010 и 2020 годов о расе/этнической принадлежности для присвоения значений, а также моделирование отсутствующей информации о новых мигрантах на основе расового распределения по стране происхождения согласно ОАС. Это дало бы нам возможность получить все характеристики, необходимые для получения оценок миграции, исходя из ИБДММ. Применение ИБДММ для получения субнациональных оценок на уровне округов нуждается в дальнейшей оценке, даже если сохраняются проблемы охвата.

41. Может быть полезной и значительно поможет улучшить охват нелегальных мигрантов дальнейшая работа над возможностью добавления ИИНН в ИБДММ без дублирования. Кроме того, ИБДММ недостаточно учитывает маленьких детей. Это может быть частично решено за счет доработки процессов импутации для несовпадающих иждивенцев, но это потребует дальнейшего изучения. Настоящая статья предоставила дополнительную информацию об этой недостаточно учтенной группе населения, и, как обсуждалось ранее, дальнейшая разбивка населения на группы по данным только ОАС улучшило бы наше понимание ИБДММ. Использование дополнительных источников данных также может помочь в этом.

42. Было бы очень полезно связать ИБДММ с другими источниками данных, например файлами Службы гражданства и иммиграции США или Министерства здравоохранения и социальных служб. С указанными агентствами разрабатываются соглашения об обмене данными. В результате можно получить бесценную информацию не только о неучтенных группах населения, но и для проверки и улучшения качества данных в ИБДММ.

43. Аналогично, хотя в настоящее время у нас нет доступа к данным Иммиграционной и таможенной

полиции США, данные Программы студентов и посетителей по обмену были бы идеальными для оценки потоков студентов и посетителей по обмену. Данные системы информации о въезде и выезде от Бюро таможенного и пограничного контроля могут помочь нам измерить потоки нелегальных мигрантов. Это примеры потенциальных источников данных, которые могут быть включены в ИБДММ в будущем.

44. Помимо улучшения охвата ИБДММ, необходимо провести дальнейшую работу, чтобы лучше понять качество данных, например относительно гражданства и года въезда. В любом случае Бюро переписи населения США будет продолжать попытки развивать и интегрировать административные источники с данными обследований, чтобы улучшить оценки чистой международной миграции.

Notes: Data in italics are estimated by the secretariat. EECCA is Eastern Europe, Caucasus and Central Asia.
Data for the two latest years are forecasts.
In contrast to previous years, data are shown only for countries providing forecasts. Sub-regional totals are only for reporting countries.
Data are shown only for countries providing forecasts. Sub-regional totals thus reflect only the reporting countries of the subregion. No sub-regional forecast is provided for "Eastern Europe, Caucasus and Central Asia" due to lack of information provided by countries in this sub-region.
Germany – Pellets consumption is an estimated consumption as reported by Pellet Federation. There is a difference between reported consumption and apparent consumption of 242,000 metric tonnes and 214,000 metric tonnes, respectively. For 2022 and 2023, this difference is additionally stored at newly installed plants, i.e. sold but not yet consumed.
Slovenia trade figures are lower than actual as they do not include estimates for non-recorded trade with other EU countries.
Polish trade data exclude non-reporters (estimated at 1-3% of total). Residues exclude recovered wood. Polish sawnwood data exclude shop lumber. Wood pulp production is in metric tonnes, not air-dried, and excludes recovered fibre pulp. Wood pellets production data includes briquettes and non-wood based material.
United Kingdom production figures for OSB is secretariat estimate.
Softwood = coniferous, hardwood = non-coniferous
For tables 1-13, data in italics are secretariat estimates or repeated data. All other data are from national sources and are of course estimates for the current and future year.
Countries with nil, missing or confidential data for all years on a table are not shown.

Comments (if any):
2 Please comment on any quotas, incentives, disincentives, tariff/non-tariff barriers or other related factors which now or in future will significantly affect your production and trade of tropical timber products.
No icentive program for trade of tropical timber products
3 Please elaborate on any short or medium term plans for expanding capacity for (further) processing of tropical timber products in your country.
None
4 Please indicate any trends or changes expected in the species composition of your trade. How important are lesser-used tropical timber species and/or minor tropical forest products?
No change in species composition expected
5 Please indicate trends in domestic building activity, housing starts, mortgage/interest rates, substitution of non-tropical wood and/or non-wood products for tropical timbers, and any other domestic factors having a significant impact on tropical timber consumption in your country.
Housing starts in 2020 were 7% higher than in 2019. Mortgage rates declined further in 2020, reaching an average 3.11% (30-year rate type)
Tropical timber (plywood) apparent consumption increased slightly in 2020.
6 Please indicate the extent of foreign involvement in your timber sector (e.g. number and nationalities of concessionaires/mill (joint) owners, area of forest allocated, scale of investment, etc.).
No change from previous report
7 Please provide details of any relevant forest law enforcement activities (e.g. legislation, fines, arrests, etc.) in your country in the past year.
No change from previous report
8 Please indicate the current extent of forest plantations in your country (ha), annual establishment rate (ha/yr) and proportion of industrial roundwood production from plantations.
Forest plantations represent 13% of all timberland acres, or 27 million ha. Annual establishment rate is approximately 926 thousand ha/year.
Approximately 43% of average annual harvest removals come from stands with clear evidence of artificial regeneration

Notes:
The term "ex" means that there is not a complete correlation between the two codes and that only a part of the HS2012/HS2017 or SITC Rev.4 code is applicable.
For instance "ex4401.40" under product 3.2 means that only a part of HS2017 code 4401.40 refers to wood residues coming from wood processing (the other part coded under 4401.40 is recovered post-consumer wood).
In SITC Rev.4, if only 4 digits are shown, then all sub-headings at lower degrees of aggregation are included (for example, 634.1 includes 634.11 and 634.12).
* - Please assign the trade data for HS code 4411.14 to product 8.3.2 (MDF/HDF) and 8.3.3 (other fibreboard) if it is possible to do this in national statistics. If not, please assign all the trade data to item 8.3.2 as in most cases MDF/HDF will represent the large majority of trade.

Notes:
The term "ex" means that there is not a complete correlation between the two codes and that only a part of the HS2012/HS2017 or SITC Rev.4 code is applicable.
For instance "ex811.00" under "Prefabricated buildings of wood" means that only a part of SITC code 811.00 refers to buildings prefabricated from wood, as that code does not distinguish between the materials buildings were prefabricated from.
In SITC Rev.4, if only 4 digits are shown, then all subheadings at lower degrees of aggregation are included (for example, 892.2 includes 892.21 and 892.29).

Symbol usage

We urge respondents to fill in the questionnaire completely. If, however, this is not

possible, please try to use the following symbols. Blank spaces leave us unsure whether

the data are not available or whether they are zero.

… = not available (please make an estimate!)

0 = nil or less than half the unit indicated

Overview

Background

Linking Administrative Record (AR) Data Sources, Censuses, and Surveys including the American Community Survey (ACS)

Integrated Database on International Migration (IDIM) Universes and Matching Rates between the ACS and the IDIM

Compare Distributions for the ACS-IDIM Matched and Unmatched Foreign-Born Respondents

Compare ACS Survey Responses to Linked IDIM Administrative Records

Next Steps

Background

• Increases Variance • Lag Measurement

Construct Foreign-born International Migration

Flows from American Community Survey (ACS)

Data Likely misses: • Irregular migrants • Working Migrants Did Not File Taxes • Non-working dependents • International students

Developed Integrated Database for International

Migration (IDIM) to estimate IN-Flows

• Do the distributions of ACS foreign-born records linked to the IDIM differ from distributions of ACS records that cannot be linked to the IDIM?

Can We Use ACS to Adjust IDIM?
