Abstract The recent Population and Housing Census carried out in 2002 investigated internal migration through two questions, Place of Birth of the Resident Population and Place of Previous Residence. Both questions, traditionally recommended by the Population Division of the United Nations to be included by countries in their periodic censuses1, create the conditions to be able to study all the possible migratory flows that are generated between the different political-administrative entities of a country, since they make it possible to determine areas of origin and destination of the migratory flows detected. The information from the Cuban census of the year 2002 published up to now, offers only the figures of the resident population by provinces at the time of the census according to the respective provinces of birth.
