IPUMS/IECM-Europe Workshop: Accomplishments, Plans and Challenges

Join us at the IPUMS/IECM-Europe Workshop to celebrate the accomplishments, discuss future plans and address challenges faced in integrating, recovering, securing and disseminating census microdata. Learn about the progress made so far and the innovative initiatives planned for the 2nd five-year plan of IPUMS-Europe (2010-2014).

  4. Outline no. of slides 1. Introductions & Appreciations 2 2. Accomplishments—celebrate a success far beyond… • Goals, objectives, milestones, accomplishments 4 • Microdata inventoried and integrated 4 • Confidentiality, Security and Access 5 3. IPUMS/IECM Europe II: plans and challenges2 • Censuses to integrate, 2010 round, tabulator, GIS, Laboratories of High Security 4. Invitation to 57th ISI (Durban, Aug 16-21 ’09)1

  5. Evaluate integrations to date: 10 countries, 31 censuses Discuss plans to complete the remaining integrations: 5+ countries, 20+ censuses Consider new initiatives Tabulator GIS files corresponding to the microdata High Security Laboratory for 25-100% count microdata; elderly over-sample, aging project Improve methods and procedures of the IPUMS/IECM projects Reflect on the obstacles and challenges for the 2010 census round. Respond to doubts, questions, or concerns regarding any aspect of the collaboratory Workshop goals

  6. Remember: objectives of IPUMS Preserve census microdata and documentation for all the countries in the world Integrate microdata and metadata Disseminate--without cost--extracts of samples with the corresponding documentation to researchers

  7. IPUMS Milestones • 1995: IPUMS-USA first release of integrated microdata IPUMS-USA continues: 1850-2000 + ACS samples • 1999: IPUMS-International funded • 2002 - 1st International release: 7 countries, including Colombia and Mexico • 2006 release: 20 countries, 63 censuses, • 2008 release: 35 countries, 111 censuses • ~263 million person records • Two thousand users • 2013 release: ~60 countries, ~200 censuses Note: microdata are already entrusted to MPC

  8. Some members of the IPUMS team (2008) Steven Ruggles, inventor of IPUMS, Professor of History, and Director of the Minnesota Population Center (Not present: computer gurus, some researchers, and others who were too busy to make time for taking a photo!)

  9. Inventory of census microdata archived by region and decade (% of censuses conducted) • Note: cases confirmed by the corresponding official statistical institute. Some datasets remain to be certified. Some countries have not responded to the invitation to inventory their stocks of data. Source: http://www.hist.umn.edu/~rmccaa/IPUMS/country6.htm

  10. Integration: IPUMS-Europe in global context dark green = already integrated(35 countries, 111 censuses, 263 millon person records)green = to be integrated (39 countries, 103 censuses, 150 mill.) Mollweide projection

  11. IPUMS – Europe: past, present and future • Past: Thank you! • 15 statistical offices of Europe are cooperating with the IPUMS/IECM projects. • Assembled/Recovered: 50 sets of microdata & documentation • Present, samples of 10 countries (31 censuses) of Europe: • integrated in the IPUMS/IECM systems https://international.ipums.org/international & www.iecm-project.org • Austria (4), Belarus (1), France (5+1), Greece (4), Hungary (4), Netherlands (3), Portugal (3), Romania (2+1), Spain (3), and UK (2+ ?) • Integrated microdata, dynamic metadata, integrated tabulator • Future: 2009-14:

  12. IPUMS – Europe: past, present and future • Past: Thank you! • Present , samples of 10 countries (31 censuses) of Europe. • Future: 2009-14: • 2009/10: • Czech Republic (3+?), Germany (8), Switzerland (4), Slovenia (1), Turkey (2), and ??? • New candidate countries: ??? • Additional censuses from: France, Romania • Sample error metadata for each census in database • 2010-14 • Censuses of the 2010 round (entrusted before 2014) • New features: GIS, Elderly over-sample, High Security Laboratories with integrated microdata and metadata • Extended network: more countries, organizations (EuroStat?), research centers

  13. IPUMS Statistical Confidentiality, Security and Access • Cited by UN-ECE as “good practice” • On-site inspection: the Dennis Trewin Report

  14. Why was IPUMS cited as “good practice” by the UN-ECE (2007, Annex 23, pp. 98-103)?http://www.unece.org/stats/documents/tfcm.htm

  15. Good practices (see annex 23): • High level of confidence and transparency between the researchers (users) and the national statistical institutes • The conditions of use are well defined • Sanctions for misuse are clearly spelled out • Good use is assured by both juridical and administration mechanisms to prevent violations • Sanctions are imposed no only against those who misuse the data but also against their institutions. • The data are anonymized by highly efficient technical means

  16. The standard agreement between National Statistical Institutes and the University of Minnesota

  17. Statistical confidentiality and security:see the Trewin Report • “The best practice for an international repository of microdata” • “The security of IPUMS is first class…the standard of the best national statistical offices” • “in full compliance with the principles and recommendations of the ECE”

  18. 3. IPUMS-Europe II, 2010-14: plans Plans • Conclude the integration of the censuses of the remaining countries in the region • Incorporate samples for the 2010 round • Add digital boundary files at the second administrative level • Facilitate pre-analysis with an on-line tabulator • Construct Laboratories of High Security

  19. IPUMS-Europe II, 2010-14: invitation Invitation: • Confirm participation in IPUMS-Europe II • Facilitate copies of digital boundary files • In time, make available census microdata and documentation for the 2010 round • Begin discussing participation in the IPUMS integrated high security laboratory (2012+) • Adopt advanced security measures • High density microdata (25-100%) • Siting: • MPC, national partners only? • Eurostat? • Other academic?

  20. 4. IPUMS at the 57th ISI (Durban, Aug 16-21, 2009)http://www.statssa.gov.za/isi2009/index.aspx • IPUMS-NSI Workshop (Sat, Aug 15) • STCPM session:cross-national microdata • IPUMS-Users Workshop • IPUMS Funding for delegates from developing country
