【 摘 要 】

The Spanish Institute for National Statistics (INE) has decided to create new Migration Statistics (Estadística de Migraciones) based upon Residential Variation Statistics (Estadística de Variaciones Residenciales). This article presents arguments to support this decision, in view of the continued lack of consistency found among the sources of the Spanish statistics system for measuring population mobility. Specifically, an insight is provided into the problems of underestimation and internal inconsistency in the Spanish Labour Force Survey when measuring immigration rates, based upon discrepancies identified in the three international immigration flow series produced by this survey.
