Harmonized Data from Household Surveys on the Status and Well-being of Children, Adolescents, and Their Families
Harmonisation des données d'enquêtes auprès des ménages sur la situation et le bien-être des enfants, des adolescents et de leurs familles
How to Use Simplified Reproductive Calendar Data from the Demographic and Health Survey
IPUMS Demographic and Health Surveys (IPUMS DHS), through its intuitive website ( http://dhs.ipums.org/ ), eliminate barriers to overtime and cross‐national analyses with the DHS. IPUMS DHS recently released simplified reproductive calendar data. These calendar data are harmonized across samples, distinguish “not in universe” cases from “no” responses, and do not require destringing. Variable names are hot links to important documentation, such a…

A Half Century of Health Data for the U.S. Population
The U.S. National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) is the world's longest survey time series of health data and a rich source of information on health conditions, behaviors, and care from the 1960s to the present. NHIS public-use files are difficult to use for long-term analysis, due to complex file structure, changes in questionnaire content, and evolving variable names and coding schemes. Researchers at the Minnesota Population Center have create…
Big Data
The Minnesota Population Center (MPC) provides aggregate data and microdata that have been integrated and harmonized to maximize crosstemporal and cross-spatial comparability. All MPC data products are distributed free of charge through an interactive Web interface that enables users to limit the data and metadata being analyzed to samples and variables of interest to their research. In this article, the authors describe the integrated databases …
Ipums Redesign
This new project will create two large parallel series of historical U.S. census microdata. The first is a redesigned Integrated Public Use Microdata Series (IPUMS) incorporating Census 2000 and the American Community Survey. The IPUMS is a compatible series of large census microdata samples spanning the period from 1850 to 2000. The second is a restricted-use micro-data archive containing 1.4 billion records from the censuses of 1940 to 2000. Th…
Ipums-CPS
The Minnesota Population Center (MPC) is creating an integrated version of the March U.S. Current Population Survey (CPS) covering the years 1962–2002. The CPS is one of the few comprehensive data sources available for researching social and economic trends between decennial censuses. The survey also includes useful information—such as employment patterns and participation in social welfare programs—that is not available in the census. The new da…
Ipums-International
Integrated Public Use Microdata Series-International (IPUMS-International) is an effort to inventory, preserve, harmonize, and disseminate census microdata from around the world. IPUMS-International aims to convert census data from five continents into a uniformly coded and fully documented data series. Nearly all countries included in the data series contribute data from multiple census years. The project uses the same principles and methods tha…

Perspectives on Historical U.S. Census Undercounts
All in the Family
The author uses an article by Steven Ruggles on aspects of family demography to examine two broad questions. One concerns the relatively small overlap between demography and family history. The other addresses the potential that demography has to offer family historians. She concludes that the conceptual differences between family history and family demography limit the applicability of demographic methods for the study of family history. (ANNOTA…
Who Lives With Whom? Individual Versus Household Measures
Conceived of as a contribution to the methodological debate over the relative desirability of measuring living arrangements in terms of households or in terms of indi viduals, the study develops formal relationships between household characteristics measured among the set of households and those measured among the set of individuals. Empirical evidence is presented about what difference it makes to use households rather than indi viduals as the u…
American Immigration, Fertility, and Race Suicide at the Turn of the Century
The basis for nineteenth-century fears of race suicide in United States is examined namely the differential fertility of immigrant women native-born women of foreign parentage and native-born women of native parentage. The analysis is based on 1900 Public Use Sample a national random sample of households drawn from federal census which includes information on fertility of over 22000 women between ages of 15 and 44. Our study reports fertility dif…
