The 2002 Population and Housing Census2.6 MigrationMigration is the geographic movement of people across a specified boundary for thepurpose of establishing a new residence. The 2002 Census did not collect informationon ‘Usual Residence’. Therefore, the information on ‘Place of Enumeration’ is takenas a proxy for ‘Usual Residence’. Migration may be internal (within the country’sboundaries) or international (across country boundaries). Table 2.7 gives thedistribution of the total population by selected migration characteristics. The tableshows that 84 percent were enumerated in their district of birth and hence are nonmigrants.Table 2.7: Distribution of the Population by Migration CharacteristicsMigration CharacteristicsTotal PopulationResidentMigrants*None Migrant - Born and Enumerated in Same District +Visitors at the time of the Census20,213.4 NAPlace of Birth is in Uganda and Place of PreviousResidence is in Uganda3,143.2 1,349.4Place of Birth is in Uganda but Place of Previous Residenceis outside Uganda151.8 11.3Place of Birth is outside Uganda but Place of PreviousResidence is in Uganda43.2 18.8Place of Birth is outside Uganda and Place of PreviousResidence is outside Uganda289.6 97.9Total 23,841.3 1,477.5* Persons whose Duration of Residence in the District is less than 5 Years; The information excludespersons whose Place of Previous Residence” was Kotido district.2.6.1 International MigrationOne of the factors that lead to a change in the size of the country’s population isInternational migration. It has two components, namely, emigration and immigration.Emigration is the movement of people out of the country, whereas immigration is themovement of people into the country.14
Analytical ReportInternationalmigrantsconstituted 1.4percent of totalpopulationFor purposes of this Report, international migrations have been considered to involvepeople whose place of birth was outside Uganda. Table 2.8 gives the number ofimmigrants for the various census years. The table shows that there were 333,000lifetime immigrants in 2002, and these constituted about 1.4 percent of the totalpopulation of Uganda.The 1969 census recorded the highest number of immigrants which stood at 786,000persons. The absolute numbers fell from 406,000 in 1991 to 333,000 in 2002representing a decrease of about 18 percent. The downward trend of immigrationssince 1969 could be partly explained by the relative stability in Southern Sudan in theearly 1990’s thus reducing on the number of refugees received compared to the late1980’s when the Ugnada registered massive inflows from Sudan occasioned by theinsurgency there. Other events leading to the decrease of immigrants include thereturn of Rwandese refugees in 1994. The expulsion of Asians in 1972 was anothernotable movement.Table 2.8: Immigrants by Race and Sex, Uganda, 1948 – 2002Year Africans Non Africans All RacesMale Female Total Male Female Total Male Female Total1948 249.1 164.5 413.6 na na 41.0 na na 454.51959 402.3 280.0 682.4 46.1 40.5 86.6 448.4 320.6 769.01969 460.3 286.9 747.2 20.3 18.0 38.3 480.6 304.9 785.51991 na na na na na na 213.3 192.5 405.72002 155.8 164.5 320.3 7.3 5.1 12.5 163.1 169.7 332.8International immigration figures have since the 1948 census been higher for theAfricans compared to non-Africans. Up to the 1991 census, immigrants weredominated by males. However, in 2002, the females outnumbered the males.2.6.2 Recent International MigrationRecent international migrants are defined as persons whose “Place of Birth” wasoutside Uganda and “Place of Previous Residence” was outside Uganda and had livedin the district for less than five 5 years. The 2002 Census did not collect data onemigration (movement of people to outside countries). Therefore, it is not possible toestimate the magnitude and direction of net international migration.More than onethird of recentimmigrants werefrom DRCOut of the 333,000 immigrants, about one third (98,000) were recent immigrants.Table 2.9 gives the distribution of recent immigrants by country of origin and their sexcomposition. The table shows that the majority of immigrants in 2002 came from sixneighbouring countries and these constituted 92 percent of all recent immigrants. The15
