Municipality
All people in dwellings in the country (Territorio Nacional). All residents of private (permanent and improvised) and collective dwellings were enumerated on the reference date. Also included: people who were absent (for reasons of vacation, education, work, or hospital stays, for less than 12 months) from their dwelling. Embassies, consulates and Brazilian representatives out of the country are considered National Territory; however, they are not included in the Census (the majority of Brazilian functionaries do not live on the grounds of diplomatic missions). Indigenous persons.

SAMPLE SIZE (person records): 20274412.
SAMPLE DESIGN: Long form sample. Systematic sample selected with the same probability inside each census tract. A sample was taken of individual dwellings and of families or individuals in "grupos conviventes" inside collective dwellings with the same sample fraction for that tract in the municipality (for instance, in large municipalities, 1 in 10 dwellings or, within collective dwellings, 1 in 10 families, or 1 in 10 individuals of "grupos conviventes"). There were two distinct sample fractions: a 10% sample in municipalities with an estimated population of greater than 15,000 inhabitants and a 20% sample of the remaining municipalities.
Indigenous persons.
The expansion of the sample used Generalized Minimum Least Squares with the imposition that the final weight could be no less than 1 and no greater than 25 or 50, depending on the sampling fraction, (20% and 10% samples, respectively). This method is based on a multivariate procedure in twostages developed by Bankier (1990). Each dwelling in the sample has its own weight, so each person of the dwelling has the same weight as the dwelling's weight. The weights are not necessarily integers and they must not be substituted with integers because one would violate the consistencies of the restrictions employed for adjustment. Note: In order to obtain consistency with the published Census tables, it is necessary that the estimates are calculated in each table cell and that the row and column totals and subtotals are obtained by summing the corresponding basic estimates, after they have been rounded. A consequence of this procedure is that the total for the same characteristics could vary slightly from one table to another because of summing rounded numbers from the cells. In the same way, the estimates for Brazil could differ from the value obtained through summing the corresponding published estimates for each state in the union.
Long and short enumeration forms. The short form contains general information about the characteristics of the dwelling and each of persons in the dwelling. The long form contains general and more specific information about the characteristics of the dwelling, families, and each of the people in the dwellings. The long form was applied to a 10% sample of the population in municipalities with estimated populations greater than 15,000 and 20% in the remaining municipalities (Silva e Bianchini 1990).

IPUMS International distributes integrated microdata of individuals and households only by agreement of collaborating national statistical offices and under the strictest of confidence. Before data may be distributed to an individual researcher, an electronic license agreement must be signed and approved. To gain access to the data, a researcher must agree to the following: (1) Implement security measures to prevent unauthorized access to census microdata. Under IPUMS International agreements with collaborating agencies, redistribution of the data to third parties is prohibited. (2) Use the microdata for the exclusive purposes of scholarly research and education. Researchers must explicitly agree to not use microdata acquired for any commercial or income-generating venture. (3) Maintain the confidentiality of persons, households, and other entities. Any attempt to ascertain the identity of persons or households from the microdata is prohibited. Alleging that a person or household has been identified is also prohibited. (4) Report all publications based on these data to IPUMS International, which will in turn pass the information on to the relevant national statistical agencies. Once a project is approved, a password is issued and data may be acquired through the Internet. Penalties for violating the license include: revocation of the license, recall of all microdata acquired, filing of a motion of censure to the appropriate professional organizations, and civil prosecution under the relevant national or international statutes. These safeguards mirror the principles from the Joint ECE/Eurostat Work Session on Statistical Data Confidentiality. Employees of the Minnesota Population Center who work with the census microdata to produce the harmonized database also sign agreements to respect the confidentiality of the data. IPUMS International works with each country's statistical office to minimize the risk of disclosure of respondent information. The details of the confidentiality protections vary across countries, but in all cases, names and detailed geographic information are suppressed and top-codes are imposed on variables such as income that might identify specific persons. In addition, IPUMS International uses a variety of technical procedures to enhance confidentiality protection. These include the following: (1) Swapping an undisclosed fraction of records from one administrative district to another to make positive identification of individuals impossible. (2) Randomizing the placement of households within districts to disguise the order in which individuals were enumerated or the data processed. (3) Aggregating codes of sensitive characteristics (e.g., grouping together very small ethnic categories) (4) Top- and bottom-coding continuous variables to prevent identification of extreme cases. The safety record for public-use census microdata is apparently perfect. In almost four decades of use, there has not been a single verified breach of statistical confidentiality. The measures implemented by the IPUMS International are designed to extend this record. |
