UNITS IDENTIFIED:
UNIT DESCRIPTIONS:
Version 6.4. The datasets contain selected variables from the original census microdata plus harmonized variables from the IPUMS-International database.
In v6.4, the research team continued to carry out improvements to geography, providing harmonized geographic units for the second administrative level for roughly half the countries. More information about IPUMS geography variables is available <a href='https://international.ipums.org/international/geography_variables.shtml'>here</a>. Also, approximately 100 integrated variables were renamed. Affected variables with their current and previous names are listed <a href='https://international.ipums.org/international/resources/misc_docs/renamed_variables_sept2015.pdf'>here</a>. Geography variable also underwent wholesale renaming.
In this update, IPUMS added 19 new samples for Armenia, Austria, Costa Rica, Ethiopia, France, Ghana, Mozambique, Paraguay, Portugal, Puerto Rico, South Africa, and Spain. Ethiopia, Mozambique, and Paraguay were newly added countries to IPUMS. Samples for other countries extend pre-existing series for those countries.

SAMPLE DESIGN: The sample was enumerated with the Long Form questionnaires, and was selected with different sampling fractions from 9 strata. The strata are municipal and non-municipal areas in the four major regions(Central, North, Northeastern, South) with Bangkok as a separate regions. The sample was selected in a two-stage process. In the first stage, enumeration districts (EDs) were selected within each of the 9 strata. For Bangkok and other municipal areas, 40% of all EDs were selected. For non-municipal areas, 20% of EDs were selected. In the second stage, households were selected within EDs with different selection rules for private and collective households. For private households, 25% of households in Bangkok and non-municipal areas were selected, while 5% of households in other municipal areas were selected. For collective households, a 5% sample is selected across all strata.
SAMPLE UNIT: Household
SAMPLE FRACTION: 1%
SAMPLE SIZE (person records): 485,100
Calculated by the NSO based on stratified sample design.
The population was enumerated with Form 2. There are two types of Form 2: (i) the Short Form which is used to collect information on 10 population questions and 3 housing questions; and (ii) the Long Form which contains 26 population questions and 16 housing questions. Part 1 of the Long Form identifies the household; Part 2 contains population questions; and Part 3 contains housing questions which are asked only of private households. One-fifth of the households and population in Bangkok and non-municipal areas were enumerated with the long-form while all households and population in the other municipal areas were enumerated with the long-form.

Is signing of a confidentiality declaration required? | Confidentiality declaration text |
---|---|
yes | 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. |
