Integrated Public Use Microdata Series (IPUMS)

The Integrated Public Use Microdata Series (IPUMS) is a project that collects, standardizes, and shares detailed census and survey data from around the world. It provides researchers and policymakers access to individual-level data on topics like population, employment, and housing, allowing for in-depth analysis of social and economic trends over time. By harmonizing data from different periods and sources, IPUMS makes it easier to compare and study changes in societies, helping inform decisions and advance understanding of population dynamics.
