Appendix 1. Place of birth, method change 2017

Since 1993, the population statistics has assumed that persons with unknown place of birth was born outside Greenland. Statistics Greenland has now gathered additional data, which contains more updated information than obtained in the original data collection. Using this information we can now give a more correct estimate of the population birthplace. With this method we now only have a handful of persons with unknown birthplace. These will in all tabulation be counted as ‘born in Greenland’.

 

Moreover, the population estimates for  2002 and 2004 have been adjusted as these were found erroneously to include 30 persons who actually died in 1999.
