Researchers can now access millions of global census microdata records through IPUMS-International, revolutionizing social and behavioral research. This initiative ensures data privacy while expanding access to global population statistics.

Area of Science:

  • Social Sciences
  • Demography
  • Population Studies

Background:

  • A significant expansion in the availability of global census microdata has occurred.
  • The IPUMS-International project provides access to over 325 million person records from 55 countries.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the revolution in access to census microdata for research.
  • To detail the IPUMS-International project's scope, data access, and future expansion.
  • To outline the privacy protection standards and operational underpinnings.

Main Methods:

  • Dissemination of confidentialized microdata extracts on a restricted access basis.
  • Data collection and integration from National Statistical Offices worldwide.
  • Analysis of 64,248 requests to profile frequently used samples and variables.
