IPUMS Census and Survey Data                                                        View this email in your browser Dear Benjamin, We are pleased to introduce you to two new members of the IPUMS family and share other updates. Introducing  IPUMS IHGIS and IPUMS MLP Job openings  New data  Virtual events and office hours  While we are excited to share these updates, we are simultaneously discouraged by the news of the abbreviated timeline for the 2020 U.S. Census.     INTRODUCING IPUMS IHGIS The International Historical Geographic Information System (IPUMS IHGIS) provides data tables from population and housing censuses as well as agricultural censuses from around the world, along with corresponding GIS boundary files. Data from diverse published documents are provided in a standardized, ready-to-use structure with thorough, consistently formatted metadata. Head to ihgis.ipums.org to get started. IPUMS MLP - LINKED FULL COUNT U.S. CENSUS DATA IPUMS Multigenerational Longitudinal Panel (MLP) has released a set of crosswalks to link individual records in full count historical census data between adjacent censuses from 1900 to 1940. This release includes more than 165 million linked records, and future releases will build on this work and extend chronological depth. Keep an eye on your inbox for information about an upcoming webinar on our linking strategy and tips for using these new data.     WORK FOR IPUMS  Data Analyst (GIS), IPUMS NHGIS Put your GIS skills to work as a member of the IPUMS NHGIS team, coordinating our efforts to digitize historical census block boundaries and supporting other GIS and demographic data development. Senior Data Analyst, IPUMS International Help make the world's census and survey microdata available to IPUMS users. We are looking for people who like to put their technical skills to work solving data problems and transforming raw data to the harmonized versions available on IPUMS websites.      DATA RELEASES IPUMS CPS  2020 ASEC data are now available from IPUMS CPS as well as September Basic Monthly data, the January 2020 displaced worker and job tenure supplements, and tobacco use supplement from January 2019. The IPUMS CPS linking keys CPSIDP and MARBASECIDP are now available for 1976-1988 ASEC files - read all about it in this working paper.  IPUMS HEALTH SURVEYS The latest year of MEPS data is now available through IPUMS MEPS. We have also included a handy explainer of the different types of original MEPS files available from AHRQ and how to link them to IPUMS MEPS (with sample code!).  IPUMS GLOBAL HEALTH Last week IPUMS PMA released new household and female data from Burkina Faso, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Kenya, and Nigeria. These samples are from the core family planning surveys in 2019, and these cohorts of women will be given follow-up interviews for two years. A survey redesign now collects contraceptive calendar data, in addition to questions about the woman's economic activities.       TALK DATA TO US United Nations Virtual World Data Forum 2020 October 19-21, 2020 International IPUMS projects will be represented at UNWDF2020.

Gerontological Society of America (GSA) Virtual Annual Meeting November 4-7, 2020 Visit our virtual booth at GSA to talk data to us and brainstorm how to use IPUMS for studying aging and the life course.  Virtual Office Hours - IPUMS for Studying Aging & the Life Course November 12, 2020; 11:00am-1:00pm CT Join us for virtual office hours on Thursday, November 12 at 11:00AM CT to talk to IPUMS data experts about leveraging IPUMS data for research on aging and the life course. Registration is required to attend office hours, but you can drop in any time from 11:00AM-1:00PM CT with your questions.      2020 CENSUS On Friday, October 14, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that the Census Bureau could end counting early for the 2020 decennial Census. We are disappointed in this decision and concerned that an abbreviated Census undercuts the national statistical infrastructure in the U.S., as well as congressional representation and allocation of federal funding. We support the Population Association of America's statement on the ruling and will keep you apprised how to get involved.      Stay safe, and use it for good!
