该文件比较了基于保健卡的行政数据与人口普查数字衡量的国内移徙情况。这是有益的，因为统计机构收集、处理和传播人口数据越来越依赖行政数据。统计机构已经使用健康卡数据来进行移民估计，并且对行政来源的当地人口估计越来越有信心。这项分析比这项工作走得更远，因为它评估了医疗卡数据在多大程度上可以产生学术界所习惯的那种可靠的数据产品。它通过审查整个两次人口普查期间的移徙事件与过渡情况;人口流入和流出小地区;以及它在多大程度上产生了与人口普查相当的移徙微观数据来进行这项工作。它表明，对于大多数人口群体和地方的健康卡数据是一个适当的替代人口普查为基础的移民计数，例外是学生家庭和年轻人。然而，仍然需要类似普查的信息来提供协变量，以便进行分析，无论传统普查的未来如何，仍然需要这种信息。
The paper compares and contrasts internal migration measured by healthcard-based administrative data with census figures. This is useful because the collection of population data, its processing, and its dissemination by statistical agencies is becoming more reliant on administrative data. Statistical agencies already use healthcard data to make migration estimates and are increasingly confident about local population estimates from administrative sources. This analysis goes further than this work as it assesses how far healthcard data can produce reliable data products of the kind to which academics are accustomed. It does this by examining migration events versus transitions over a full intercensal period; population flows into and out of small areas; and the extent to which it produces microdata on migration equivalent to that in the census. It is shown that for most demographic groups and places healthcard data is an adequate substitute for census-based migration counts, the exceptions being for student households and younger people. However, census-like information is still needed to provide covariates for analysis and this will still be required whatever the future of the traditional census.
