NMS

• The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) is pleased to present the final report on the first nationwide survey on migration, the 2018 National Migration Survey or NMS 2018

  
• NMS 2018 is a collaborative undertaking of PSA with the University of the Philippines System (UP System) through the University of the Philippines Population Institute (UPPI)
• NMS aims to provide information on the mobility of Philippine population in order to assist policymakers and program managers in designing and evaluating strategies for improving services and assistance to Filipinos going abroad or moving within the country
• NMS 2018 is intended to provide baseline information on international and inter-regional migration flows and major migration streams, types of migration and characteristics of migrants, patterns and processes of migration and factors that affect these patterns and processes

  
• NMS 2018 was funded by the Government of the Philippines. Field operations were carried out from 31 May to 11 November 2018 with 45,000 sample housing units or over 49,000 households visited to provide regional level data

• Danilo L. Concepcion: 'President, University of the Philippines'
• The University of the Philippines is proud to present the key results and findings of the 2018 National Migration Survey conducted by the Philippine Statistics Authority and the UP Population Institute

  
• This pioneering initiative lays the groundwork for future migration research, analyses, and policymaking by providing invaluable sets of data that were previously inadequate or unavailable

  
• Data on both the internal and international mobility and migration of the Philippine population is imperative if we expect the formulation of policies, programs, and interventions to be evidence-based

  
• The conduct of the 2018 National Migration Survey was a monumental but necessary undertaking

  
• As the national university of this country, UP will always make its expertise available to initiatives that are meaningful to the Filipino nation
