At 1990 and 2000 censuses of Turkey, to estimate the magnitude of international migrants from Turkey indirectly the question: "How many members of this household who are not in the house now are a) in the country? b) abroad?" is asked to every household head. Using this data, and assuming that the people who are in abroad in the census day but reported as part of the households in Turkey as migrants, the number of emigrants could be estimated. At this study, a comparison the household characteristics and housing conditions are going to be done between the households having at least one member abroad and households all members are at the dwelling at the time of censuses are going to be studied.
