Microdata for Research on Aging in the Global South

项目摘要/摘要 在过去的二十年里，综合公共用途微数据系列(IPUMS)创建了一个庞大的数据库 从20世纪60年代到现在，覆盖全球大部分地区的微观数据。这些数据包括详细信息 关于每个人的地理位置、人口特征、经济活动以及 关于死亡率、迁徙、残疾、居住安排和住房特征的信息。IPUMS目前 传播来自89个国家的355次人口普查的约10亿人的综合数据， 包括全球南部60个国家的212次人口普查。数据可以跨时间和空间互操作， 能够进行比较分析和研究变化过程。 该提案寻求资金，以扩大IPUMS数据库的范围，并创建强大的新工具 分析人口老龄化。该项目有四个主要目标：(1)扩大数据库，增加40次人口普查和 全球南方国家约有1亿个病例；(2)制定新的个人层面的变量 残疾、死亡率、退休、集体宿舍类型、家庭生活安排、移民和经济 福利指标；(3)开发描述环境和社会经济的新的背景变量 全球南部第二行政级别约15,000个地点的特点；和(4) 为人口老龄化研究人员提供用户支持、培训和推广，以确保数据的广泛性 触手可及，使用广泛。 利用数十亿美元的人口普查数据投资，该项目是对稀缺资源的高度经济高效利用 用于开发共享大数据基础设施的资源，用于人口研究、教育和决策 衰老。拟议的数据库直接涉及#年的人口和社会进程处的核心目标 NIA为理解公共政策、社会政策的影响提供了前所未有的力量来源 机构和环境条件对人一生中的健康、福祉和功能的影响 在发展中国家的晚年也是如此。

Project Summary/Abstract Over the past two decades, the Integrated Public Use Microdata Series (IPUMS) has created a vast database of microdata covering most of the globe from the 1960s to the present. These data include detailed information about each person's geographic location, demographic characteristics, and economic activities as well as information on mortality, migration, disabilities, living arrangements, and housing features. IPUMS is currently disseminating integrated data on approximately one billion persons drawn from 355 censuses of 89 countries, including 212 censuses of 60 countries in the Global South. The data are interoperable across time and space, enabling comparative analysis and the study of processes of change. This proposal seeks funding to expand the scope of the IPUMS database and create powerful new tools for analyzing population aging. The project has four major goals: (1) Expand the database, adding 40 censuses and approximately 100 million cases for countries in the Global South; (2) Develop new individual-level variables on disability, mortality, retirement, types of group quarters, familial living arrangements, migration, and economic well-being indicators; (3) Develop new contextual variables describing environmental and socioeconomic characteristics of approximately 15,000 places at the second administrative level in the Global South; and (4) Provide user support, training, and outreach to population aging researchers to ensure that the data are broadly accessible and widely used. Leveraging billions of dollars of investments in census data, this project is a highly cost-effective use of scarce resources to develop shared big data infrastructure for research, education, and policy-making on population aging. The proposed database directly addresses core goals of the Population and Social Processes Branch of NIA by providing a resource of unprecedented power for understanding the effects of public policies, social institutions, and environmental conditions on the health, well-being, and functioning of people over the life course and in their later years across the developing world.
