CENSUS CENSUS: Evaluating and enhancing the IECM database Sabine Springer Institut national d’études démographiques (Ined) - Paris
CENSUS The main participants: • INED - International Comparisons Unit (Ined- UR13), Patrick Festy • ODE - The European Demographic Observatory, Jean-Paul Sardon • IEDUB - The Institute for Demographic Studies of the University of Bordeaux, Christophe Bergouignan
CENSUS Census micro data – the solution to all our problems? The CENSUS project has the aim to test the IECM database in three major areas: • Facility of access and use (IEDUB) • Coverage, Quality, Comparability (ODE) • Operational value for research (UR13-INED)
CENSUS Data from the IECM database to be used for the evaluation 7 countries, 22 censuses: • Belarus: 1999 • France: 1962, 1968, 1975, 1982, 1990 • Greece: 1971, 1981, 1991, 2001 • Hungary: 1970, 1980, 1990, 2001 • Portugal: 1981, 1991, 2001 • Romania: 1992, 2002 • Spain: 1981, 1991, 2001
CENSUS Evaluation of facility of access and use of the IECM database (Under IEDUB responsibility )=>Training of users and precautions for use
CENSUS Planned outcome: • Training for users and complementary and sequential training courses at beginners and advanced levels • ‘Hands on’ sessions • Training or information sessions for the French-speaking Doctoral School in Demography and for the European Doctoral School in Demography
CENSUS Coverage and qualityof the data (Under ODE responsibility) • assess the completeness and accuracy of censuses and samples through demographic analysis of population data provided by the national institutes of statistics and IECM • Special attention to continuity of information in each country and to international comparability among the 7 countries
CENSUS Operational value of the IECM database “The prevalence and factors of multi-generational co-residence of adults” (Under UR13-INED responsibility)
CENSUS • Demographic interest: • Multi-generational co-residence - a topic of social relevance in southern and eastern Europe, with France acting as a benchmark • Methodology: • A case study in order to test the possibilities of the IECM database • Combination of individual, household and geographical data in order to test flexibility in case of multilevel analysis • Test of national and international comparability of definitions, concepts, census characteristics
CENSUS So .....Census micro data – the solution to all our problems? We will let you know!!!
