Usual residence five years ago, is used to:
- record population movements within New Zealand (internal migration).
- produce Linked Employer-Employee Data (LEED), a longitudinal dataset valuable for research purposes
- produce the linked (or longitudinal) census

Our current recommendations relating to usual residence five years ago
- We recommend that the census continues to collect information on usual residence five years ago with no changes.

@joannabroad great to see some workshop participants getting involved. There is some discussion relating to non-private dwellings and residents within them that provide some information about residential care for older people- would be good for you to have a read and flesh out your areas of interest in more detail, here's the link. As you're probably aware we also collect information on country of birth which gives us some information about migrants. There is also a discussion in generational attachment which is a topic that could provide more information about inter-generational migrant outcomes, it would be great if you could also join this discussion.
