Abstract:
The IPUMS ecosystem, housed at the University of Minnesota, provides census and survey data free of charge to registered researchers and policy makers from around the world. The data are integrated (i.e., consistently coded) across time and space and provides extensive documentation. This makes it easy to study change, conduct comparative research, and analyze individuals within their family and community context.
This lecture will describe the various datasets disseminated by IPUMS, such as census and survey microdata, geospatial data, data on time diaries and time use, data on global health that includes the Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS), Performance Monitoring for Action (PMA), and Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS), and tabular data from the United States and around the world. We also describe the benefits of data integration and spatial integration and how IPUMS data can be used to study global and local trends some of which include, urbanization, household structure, economic development, migration, aging, educational expansion, and disability. This lecture describes the usefulness of all these different datasets available from IPUMS, provides examples of applications from academia and civil society, and reflects on the impact of IPUMS harmonization and dissemination efforts.
