A Dream Come True: IPUMS International and the Study of the Family on a Global Scale
Intervenant: Albert Esteve (Démographe, chercheur et directeur du Centre for Demographic Studies - Espagne) ; Discutant: Laurent Toulemon (chercheur Ined UR3 Fécondité familles conjugalités, UR14 Santé droits sexuels reproductifs, M53 Pôle vieillissement)
IPUMS emerged to revolutionize access to US census microdata but ultimately transformed global access. IPUMS International is the result of this remarkable global achievement, now covering 100+ countries and expanding to diverse demographic data sources (e.g. Demographic Health Surveys). In this presentation, I’ll illustrate with my own work how IPUMS International empowers global family research, discussing the spread of non-marital cohabitation in Latin America, the impact of the gender-gap reversal in education on marriage markets, and the worldwide transformations in living arrangements.
