IPUMS-International (Integrated Public Use Microdata Series, International) is the world’s largest collection of publicly available individual-level census data. The data are samples from population censuses from around the world taken since 1960. Names and other identifying information have been removed. The variables have been given consistent codes and have been documented to enable cross-national and cross-temporal comparisons…IPUMS is not a collection of compiled statistics; it is composed of microdata.
In June 2007 IPUMS added 17 new samples for Argentina, Hungary, Israel, the Palestinian Territories, Portugal, and Rwanda. We also added approximately 50 new internationally harmonized variables and 1000 unharmonized variables specific to the individual samples. The full content of the IPUMS is summarized on our sample quick reference page
